Comment:

 If a library L is marked MODULAR in its boost_library_project, its headers
 should be in (top)/libs/L/include/boost, not (top)/boost.

 If a library M needs L to compile, *both* L and M need to have
 module.cmake files.  L's could look like
 {{{
 boost_module(L)
 }}}
 if it has no further dependencies, but M's will need
 {{{
 boost_module(M DEPENDS L)
 }}}
 and this is how M will get the correct path to L's headers.   Link
 dependencies are different,
 they are handled in boost_add_library(...).   This is a little disjoint at
 the moment.
