We have close to five million lines of our own code, a dozen or so third-party libraries of all descriptions, tools from several different vendors, and we test against every Windows version since NT4. If there were a well-maintained cookbook for testing the beta against my build I'd give it some attention. But it took me a week of pulling my hair out over the bjam / boost build documents to get it wired into my build the last time I upgraded.
FWIW, if you're a Windows/MSVC user, then building fresh Boost release takes about 5 mins of human work, and boost-build@lists.boost.org can provide assistance if anything goes wrong. Also, #boost IRC channel, on freenode network, is very helpful and often fast way to get support. - Volodya
