I'm not sure if we've already had this discussion or not but I'd actually
suggest considering putting Hub either in its own library or one that's
unconditionally header-only.

My concern here is that if we put Hub into Container, people looking for
Hub and using CMake will wind up using Boost::container which I fear
transitively carries a binary dependency.

I would suppose users can instead depend on the header-only meta-target
(Boost::headers) but I'd prefer to avoid a situation where users must do
that.
