The only thing I see is boost/boost_version.txt. JP must have added this file as it is not part of the standard Boost source. Oddly enough boost/version.hpp is not included. We might want to include this as well. I see a potential problem with cherry picking only the required header files. If we are not careful, we could inadvertently mix versions of header files.
