First, the required question. Are you using any of these libraries: threads, 
regex, or python? If not, you don't need Boost.Build. Just take the Boost 
headers and put them somewhere.

If so, you will need Boost build. At this point, I'd suggest waiting for 
1.28.0 before trying to get Boost past QC. 1.28.0 should be available within 
a week or two, and there have been many improvements to Boost.Build that will 
be included.
