Although supporting standalone builds of libraries against already installed boost would be really nice I consider going to purely separate library releases to be a horrible idea. I never thought that monolithic nature of boost is problematic. More like it makes everyone's lives easier because it's simpler to reason about versions for library users. They don't need to track library version requirements for individual libraries which can get really tricky if those libraries depend on more libraries. Instead, depending on particular version of boost is enough.
