Interesting, I didn't know about that and removed the manual checkout of 
libs/config in a few libraries with the intention that it is pulled by 
depinst.py. Is this not a valid change?

It would be nice if we didn't have to checkout *any* submodules except 
boostdep (and the library to test, of course) and then depinst would 
checkout everything required to run the tests.
