I just looked at the libraries available via the Visual Studio installer
and I see this in my installation (using atls as an example MS-supplied
library):

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual
Studio\2019\Community\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.20.27508\atlmfc\lib\spectre\x64\atls.lib
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual
Studio\2019\Community\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.20.27508\atlmfc\lib\spectre\x86\atls.lib
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual
Studio\2019\Community\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.20.27508\atlmfc\lib\x64\atls.lib
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual
Studio\2019\Community\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.20.27508\atlmfc\lib\x86\atls.lib

That may give some guidance as to how MS can package the Boost libraries
for internal distribution.
