Yes, Visual Studio is listed as a prerequisite here:

The direction is not the current state of affairs and you're suggesting 
changing the current recommendadions.

I don't mind *adding* vcpkg as one possible way to install Boost. I just

most basic option is downloading sources and building Boost yourself. I 
think, it should be preserved.
