That's not particularly accurate to my knowledge.

You also need compiled libraries if you plan to use the boost filesystem
or boost python libraries.

Otherwise, you don't need to do much. Do this:

Tools -> Options -> Projects -> VC++ Directories -> Include files
there, add your boost_1_31_0 directory.

You're done....
