Milestone:  To Be Determined                   |   Component:  Building Boost
  Version:  Boost 1.46.1                       |    Severity:  Problem       
 Keywords:  bcp                                |  
-----------------------------------------------+----------------------------
 bcp fails to add the path libs/filesystem/build when boost/filesystem.hpp
 or boost/filesystem is speciified, such as by using the following:

     bcp boost/filesystem <dest_dir>

     bcp boost/filesystem.hpp <dest_dir>

 bcp will extract libs/filesystem/build if the following invocation is
 made:

     bcp filesystem <dest_dir>

 Adding an entry in specials (see add_path.cpp) instructing bcp to treat
 libs/filesystem/build as a dependency when boost/filesystem/config.hpp
 resolves the issue. See attached modified add_path.hpp for details (based
 off of revision 72041).

 However, I am not sure that this is the ideal resolution.
