Please find a (hopefully) correct patch attached.

Tested on Linux, where it generates correct symlinks.

My tests on Windows did not succeed.  It seems the check for symlink support 
does not work, as I get:

Performing configuration checks

    - symlinks supported       : yes
...found 6844 targets...

mklink-or-dir boost\compatibility
Ihre Berechtigungen reichen nicht aus, um diesen Vorgang auszuf”ren.

    mklink /D "boost\compatibility" "..
\libs\compatibility\include\boost\compatibility"

...failed mklink-or-dir boost\compatibility...

The german error message says I don't have appropriate rights to create 
symlinks. The CMake script correctly detects this:

e:\src\devel\boost-git>cmake -P forward_headers.cmake
Ihre Berechtigungen reichen nicht aus, um diesen Vorgang auszuführen.
-- Symlinks are NOT supported.

Any ideas on this?
Ok to commit?

A better way would be to always use forward headers,  of course.

Yours,

Jürgen
