--------------------------+------------------------------
 It is very possible I am doing something wrong, but I've been unable to
 get {{{boost/filesystem.hpp}}} and {{{boost/program_options.hpp}}} to be
 copied during the installation process with {{{b2}}}...

 I've followed the
 [http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_59_0/more/getting_started/unix-

 variants.html#easy-build-and-install easy setup instructions].

 {{{
 $ cd modular-boost
 $ ./bootstrap.sh --prefix=/opt/boost
 $ ./b2 stage

 ...

 The Boost C++ Libraries were successfully built!

 The following directory should be added to compiler include paths:

     /home/user/Projects/modular-boost

 The following directory should be added to linker library paths:

     /home/userProjects/modular-boost/stage/lib

 $ sudo ./b2 install --prefix=/opt/boost
 }}}

 Then simply doing an

 {{{
 $ ls /opt/boost/include/boost/filesystem/
 config.hpp  convenience.hpp  detail  exception.hpp  fstream.hpp
 operations.hpp  path.hpp  path_traits.hpp
 $ ls /opt/boost/include/boost/filesystem.hpp
 ls: cannot access /opt/boost/include/boost/filesystem.hpp: No such file or
 directory
 }}}

 I've tried this with boost-1.59.0, boost-1.58.0 and boost-1.57.0, and
 nothing seems to fix it.

 * After running {{{./b2 install}}} should {{{boost/filesystem.hpp}}} be
 installed in the {{{--prefix}}} location?
 * If so, how can I get the package headers to install as I expect?
