We would gladly accept an offer to help. On github there is a
modularized, cmake-able version of boost (see
http://ryppl.github.com/gettingstarted.html). There are plenty of
problems that need to be addressed on the boost+cmake side before ryppl
can be used to build and install it. For instance, I just filed these today:

http://www.vtk.org/Bug/view.php?id=11179
http://www.vtk.org/Bug/view.php?id=11180

No double, Marcus Hanwell would appreciate the help with cleaning this up.
