Short follow-up ...
Reading what I could find on the internet about this I saw that most people download boost, then download the sandbox, then copy or (perhaps better) link the sandboxes that they use to the boost tree.
That's easy enough. Is this the intended use of the sandbox repositories though?
If it is, why does it have bjam files?
It has bjam files so you can run its tests and generate ( or regenerate ) its documentation. BTW, I hope you didn't download the entire sandbox using SVN. That's a huge amount of files. A possibly better way is to download only the top=level sandbox directly itself as a separate SVN checkout. Then download each library in which you are interested as a separate SVN checkout in a directory just below your local top-level sandbox directory. You can then update each library separately without having to worry about any of the others.
