This is interesting!

Are you planning to provide a MacOS X style binary installer (a.k.a.  
package installer)? I'm about to start working on such an installer  
for Boost 1.34 but that would save me some work. If so, are you  
planing to provide Universal Libraries (containing Intel and PowerPC  
libs)? Until now I couldn't convince bjam to automatically produce  
fat libs on MacOS.
