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.
For what it's worth, here is an *unsupported* *alpha* installer for Boost 1.34.0 on Mac OS X that I just rolled with CMake's packaging facilities: http://www.generic-programming.org/~dgregor/Boost-1.34.0-Darwin.dmg It doesn't have the HTML documentation, but it installs headers and universal library binaries. - Doug

First of all, thanks to the people at Boost Consulting who made the binary installer available; we have a constant stream of new users asking for instructions on how to build Boost, and let's just say that since the installer was released for version 1.33.1, it streamlined our answers... we still had a few users we couldn't direct to this solution, though; namely, those behind a corporate firewall. Does the new installer for 1.34 work in this setting? I can't test it myself, as I'm not behind such a firewall.
It's no different from the other one. However, you might consider http://boost-consulting.com/products/standard, which is imminent.
