It's great that folks are working hard on it, but it's simply a
nonstarter (for me, and I expect many others) to have to install yet
another environment (MinGW) in order to use it.

One of the greatest things about Boost is that it was designed from the
ground up to be portable, and it "just works" (most of the time).
