Even though I was the one who contributed to the increase of end users dealing with BBv2, with the creation of the build&install support, I've always been a proponent that having users rely on the Boost build setup is a bug. I.e. users should be able to drop source code into their own build system without *any* other extra effort. And the fact that many Boost libraries can't do that is sad. Very sad.
So Boost end users should *not* be the primary audience! Well, but they are. What's your proposed way around it?
Beat CMake. ;-)
And like Emil says in reply to this also, for those of us that use BBv2 the only painful drawback is the speed. As a member of that group, I beg to differ.
I'm open to the possibility that speed issues stem from the sheer size of the boost distribution.
