I've given it some thought and I like the BCM approach; BCM should be a 
library in libs/bcm (if we retain the name).

But I think that Paul's insistence to support the cget workflow, for which 
nobody at the moment cares but him, is making things more complicated and 
error-prone than they could be. (The cget workflow is the ability to build 
and install Boost libraries one by one, independently of one another, 
without a superproject; this requires them to refer to one another with 
find_package.)
