That is also a bit beside my point. It doesn't matter for this use case
whether Boost is monolithic or not; it could be that only a few of the
libraries have in fact been installed. What matters is that the directory
structure is
$BOOST_ROOT/
libs/
hana/
lib2/
lib3/
and that the user wishes to build, test and optionally install one (and then
optionally another) of the libraries.
