I have not built boost.  I just included the files I needed. A policy that 
says anything harder than "configure;make;make install;" is too hard might be 
a good idea for y'all, because in many cases that is the reality.  As complex 
as the auto tools may be, they are the standard and function very well, 
especially from a user point of view.

I would do it myself except I don't have the time :-(

All the best.
