I like Edwards proposal. However, not all Boost users are C++ experts, especially those who want to use 'higher-level' boost libraries such as GIL. Comparing Boost's installation processes with Qt's one, many users do not want to be concerned with cloning/compiling/linking issues.
Any boost library should be straight forward to build if it's not header only. And - users should also be running the tests which come with a library that they are going to use as well. If we're distributing something that is problematic to build & test, we have a problem. Let's fix that! Robert Ramey
