NuGet is a package manager that has traditionally been focused on .NET, 
but it has recently added support for C++ libraries.  Here is a 
presentation by the lead developer adding C++ support to NuGet:

I would like to see boost packages added to NuGet, and to have these 
packages be "official" packages.  I am a contributor on another project 
(Thrift) and I would like to be able to produce NuGet packages for Thrift, 
and I would like that package to have a "magically" working Boost 
dependency.

Sergey Shandar has made some unofficial packages.

If someone (perhaps me) authored the boost NuGet package build process, 
would the person in charge of releasing Boost be willing to publish the 
NuGet packages that get created?

There are going to be plenty of follow up questions if Boost releases are 
willing to publish NuGet packages, but I figured I would get the big 
question out of the way first.
