In general, Boost libraries tend to mention in the documentation what
non-header-only dependencies they have.

Otherwise, the simplest approach tends to be to try to link and find out
what libraries the missing symbols come from based on their names.

To my knowledge, there's no authorative central module dependency
listing, but the Ryppl [1] lads sorted out a rough source-based
dependency between libraries lately in order to modularise.

[1] project with new build system, modularised Boost and heaven knows what else
