[Boost-users] How to install only a few libraries

Hi,

Maybe I haven't searched well enough in the installation docs, but I
couldn't find an answer to the following.

Is is possible to install only one or two libraries. For example,
suppose I only want to use boost::smart_ptr. How can I arrange that only
the files I really need are being downloaded and installed? Nothing
more, nothing less? I've seen the option to bjam --with-<library>, but
that only works for libraries, not for header files. When I do an
install, I still get all the header files copied to my install
directory.

Regards,

Marcel Loose.
