'make DESTDIR=/foo install' is broken here:

-- Installing: /home/ingmar/development/git/boost/DESTDIR/usr/local/include//boost/assign/std/slist.hpp
-- Installing: /home/ingmar/development/git/boost/DESTDIR/usr/local/include//boost/assign/list_of.hpp
-- Installing: /home/ingmar/development/git/boost/DESTDIR/usr/local/include//boost/assign/list_inserter.hpp

-- Installing: /home/ingmar/development/git/boost/DESTDIR/usr/local/include//boost/strong_typedef.hpp
CMake Error at libs/preprocessor/cmake_install.cmake:36 (FILE):
  file INSTALL cannot find file
  "/home/ingmar/development/git/boost/libs/preprocessor/include/boost" to
  install.
Call Stack (most recent call first):
  libs/cmake_install.cmake:37 (INCLUDE)
  cmake_install.cmake:42 (INCLUDE)

This seems to be https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/2189

This can be worked around by "make modularize", which my packages currently do,
but that's less than ideal. It also doesn't play nicely when compiling boost
from a source-control repository.
