in addition, you can permanently put the boost library (and include) 
directories in ALL projects for Visual Studio by going to
Tools->Options..projects..VC++ Directories.
I've added:
$(boost_root)\include\boost-$(boost_version)
to the include directories and:
$(boost_root)\lib
to the library directories.

maintaining the two environment variables is quite easy and causes barely a 
ripple when boost is upgraded.
