I have all but 2 of the "libraries" from the "libs" directory
modularized. The unfinished libs are:
compose: Nothing that I can find header-wise needs to be modularized
mem_fn: Seems like just a single header that needs to be modularized.

What I am not sure of is what to do with the remaining headers in the
"boost" directory. Are those going to be the "core" of Boost or ?
I do have a limited subset of boost trunk building with CMake at this
point in time.
Who ever put the graphviz file generation in place.. THANK YOU.. it
saved me a lot of time trying to run down dependencies that were or
were not needed.
I can send an image of the latest dependency graph as I have things
now if wanted.
