Here are the dependencies as best I can figure out for those mentioned  
by Doug:

boost_module(detail DEPENDS integer)

boost_module(tuple DEPENDS static_assert)
boost_module(function DEPENDS detail preprocessor utility)
boost_module(iterator DEPENDS mpl type_traits function concept_check)
boost_module(smart_ptr DEPENDS utility)

Basically if I pull those out then we end up with circular  
dependencies in the graph. I can post a new dependency graph later  
today if interested.

I can go down that path an update all the CMake files but that might  
be a while since I am on some other projects at the moment although I  
would like to get back to the boost-cmake sooner rather than later.

FYI: Updated to latest trunk, ran "make modularize" and then built  
boost. It all still builds. The testing does fail pretty quickly  
though, About 15% into the tests.
