vc7.1 WinXp-SP2

Would it be feasible/advantageous for some/many/most boost libraries 
to have an installation procedure a'la regex to build a whole series 
of .lib libraries? (at least for vc6/7/7.1/8 .... not familiar with 
Linux development)

They are bulky, but who cares. They seem to speed up development 
builds a LOT.
