I'd prefer it if the non-header files were all in a single directory
with a standard name. That way if I list the files in boost/filesystem
there'll be less noise. And it'll make it easier to use the unix
command 'find'. So;
boost/filesystem.hpp
boost/filesystem/config.hpp
boost/filesystem/lib/index.html
boost/filesystem/lib/example/
boost/filesystem/lib/test/
boost/filesystem/lib/src/
Replacing 'lib' with whatever you fancy.
Although, you can add me to the people who are currently happy enough
with the status quo.
