Fedora has been doing the same for many years. In fact, I'm not aware of any Linux distro that doesn't ship individual Boost libraries, which is why I have been promoting to do this modularization "inhouse", to avoid to put that burden on package maintainers, and different distros to vary slightly in their way to implement this, causing headaches for users on those platforms.

OK, so any ideas how to do that? I assume they don't need separate tarballs, so maybe just some description of how to build libraries, which binaries require other binaries, and which files go into which package?
