Same issue over here.
What I did was to check in the headers and the compiled library files 
(*.lib)
so that it's part of the source tree of the respective project.

Yes, takes a lot of diskspace...
But that's what we have plenty of, so I didn't care.

My project trees with M$ VS usually looks something like this:

/
/libs
/libs/boost-x.xx/
/libs/boost-x.xx/boost -> header files
/libs/boost-x.xx/libs      -> binaries
/libs/whatever...
/appname
/appname/....

To make life easier, for every boost release I check in a built of boost
(not of all libraries (i.e. I don't need graph and so on...))
to a specific place in our SCM repo from where you can simply branch
the boost version you want for your project to your project tree.

Just in case you're wondering, I'm building boost using VS2008.

Hope, I could make myself somewhat clear.

Regards,
Andreas

Our problem is that every developper had installed boost in a diferent place. Is their a way to get the reference to boost in a user speciffic configuration place? At the moment we have a fix path c:\dev\boost... but that does not fit for every developpers machine.
