Okay, if the new hotness leaves you cold, it's still possible to drop
the Fiber library into an exploded Boost 1.55 tarball tree like this:

1. Drop the Fiber library into a Boost tree as libs/fiber. That is,
under libs/fiber you should find build, examples, include, src, ...
2. Symlink boost/fiber -> ../libs/fiber/include/boost/fiber . If you
must, you can physically move libs/fiber/include/boost/fiber to
boost/fiber; but even Windows supports symlinks these days.
3. At this point, a normal ./b2 libs/fiber should suffice to build the
Fiber library and everything on which it depends.
