[Boost-users] Include boost in software distribution?

Hi, I'm packaging some software for distribution, and the software depends upon the 'program_options' library. I don't want to assume that the user has boost installed, or ever jam. So I was wondering about the potential for automagically building and using the 'program_options' library if it is not already present on the user's system. I would include the source files in libs/program_options/, and write a small Makefile for it. I would also include all the Boost headers. Is this sufficient, even though it wouldn't run the Boost configure script to determine system-specific settings? Can you see any problems in building this library without doing a full Boost install?
