Well you found one here - LOL!

Surely this isn't true now that Dave's Merry Men have produced a Idiot-proof
(well I did it OK) way of downloading pre-built libraries, including
Boost.Test.
We have yet to see the new improved Boost.Test documentation promised for
1.34 though, and I think they should solve many persistent problems.
(Incidentally we did find almost insuperable problems ***jointly*** building
html documentation using Dreamweaver. It may be that Boost.Book (with CVS?)
will make this easier - but I have yet to open that can to see what worms it
may contain. Even the feedback/correction of spilliing misfakse is
timesome.)
