Right.  This is really a question about deployment of modular Boost.

The purpose of this thread is to solicit suggestions as to what a CMake 
system for Boost should include.  I'm aware that CMake includes CPACK 
which I believe touches upon this subject.  I hope that someone who 
knows more about this than I can supply more information as to whether 
we should include support for CPACK in the coming list of requirements 
contained in the forthcoming call for submissions.
