You need to:

1. Use the 'glob-tree' rule to find all the target
you want to install.
2. Use the <install-source-root> to make the 'install'
rule preserve the directory hierarchy.

I've added glob-tree and install-source-tree to index,
as well as mentioned that glob-tree is good for install --
the updated docs should appear on boost.org/build-build2
in about 5 minutes.
