It is a giant PITA, partly because it is not modular. The git migration was a migration to 100 fractured git repos, not modularized git repos.
If you want to modularize, then decide that that is a goal for Boost and I will help.

I think at least one of the reasons my efforts did not get support from the right people is that modularization is not currently a goal for Boost. Some people in Boost think that modularization is already done. It is not.
A C++14-only fork of Boost could do it. Imagine no more PP for MPL or any of the other libraries! Sohail
