Okay, but that doesn't answer the question of "how hard would it be to
come up with something like this [a configure script] for other OSes"
in the spirit of continuing to use BBv2 -- not only for Boost but for
other projects that use BBv2 as well.

Obviously the above remark indicates that there's no interest (at
least from Dave) in exploring that route at least from the Boost C++
Library building perspective.

Anybody else has any idea about it [writing a Windows native configure script]?
