Currently, Boost has no installation process.  That's something big on the
to do list.  As for the rest, I answered that in a previous post.  Instead
of running Jam on the root Jamfile, run it on the individual library
Jamfiles.  Creating a script to build only the libraries you want should be
trivial with this knowledge.
