Prepare a property file (boost.props) looking like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Project DefaultTargets="Build" ToolsVersion="4.0" 
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003">
   <PropertyGroup>
     <IncludePath>$(IncludePath);$(BOOST_ROOT_PATH)</IncludePath>
     <LibraryPath 
Condition="'$(Platform)'=='Win32'">$(LibraryPath);$(BOOST_ROOT_PATH)\stage\lib</LibraryPath>
     <LibraryPath 
Condition="'$(Platform)'=='x64'">$(LibraryPath);$(BOOST_ROOT_PATH)\stage64\lib</LibraryPath>
   </PropertyGroup>
</Project>

then include it into the project file (vcxproj)

<ImportGroup Label="PropertySheets">
   <Import Project="$(SolutionDir)boost.props" 
Condition="exists('$(SolutionDir)boost.props')" />
</ImportGroup>

each developer will have to set his own value for environment variable 
BOOST_ROOT_PATH
