BoostPro Consulting offers an installer for Windows ( 
http://www.boostpro.com/products/free ) that tends to lag the official releases 
by some time.  I've built Boost under Windows before, but sometimes I've had 
trouble (especially when I've wanted to build only parts of it), so I figured 
that this time maybe I'd wait for the installer and do things the lazy way :-)

I'm sure I'm not the only one who looks forward to hearing your results :-)
