No. If we had a build system target for each library that installs its
headers to the 'boost' directory before building we would be forced to
explicitly state the dependencies: (pseudocode)
# Boost.SmartPtr jamfile
synchronize sync_headers
: [ glob-tree ../include/*.hpp ]
: ../../boost
;
lib smart_ptr
:
: <dependency>sync_headers
;
# Boost.Filesystem jamfile
lib filesystem
: [ glob-tree ../src/*.cpp ]
/boost//system
/boost//smart_ptr # NOTE
...
;
