IIRC, there is (and was never) no such thing as an installer. Most libs are
header-only.
About 9 libs or so have to be build (via jam). I did this successfully with
VC++2005.

Did you have and problems building boost ? bjam is not the best choice, I
agree.
AFAIK they will migrate towards scons as make system in the long run (though
there is also some cmake activity...)

BTW. I finally started the architecture analysis of some of the boost
libraries ;-)

kind regards,
Bernhard.
