Hi Ben,

Very good news here.

Boostheaders uses, essentially,

   bcp name_of_a_boost_lib  sourcedir targetdir

and we did not yet 'loop' over mpl, accumulators, ... which explains why they
are partial.

| Do you think those could be included in a future version of BH?

If I make fusion, mpl, parameter explicit for 1.51.0-4, I think you should be
good. 

I can do that and R-Forge will have a traball for you, I can also make a
prelim tarball available (this eve).  Could you then test?
