Do you actually want Boost.MPI? I kinda expect anybody who wants to use Boost.MPI to already have MPI installed.
Then, why not have boost try to detect MPI, and then build/install Boost.MPI in that case automatically?
Well, as usual: Patches welcome. Creating a bulletproof autodetection system is not trivial. And requires manpower no one has provided yet. But the need is growing since Boost is getting more dependent on 3rdparty libs/tools like Expat/MPI.
On Mac OS X, MPI is installed as a system library, yet I still have to document and describe the unusual procedure required to install boost.MPI to users. This single feature has left us close to dumping Boost.MPI in favour of another option.
Well, I just quote Dave: "Just a bunch of sources". Just add them to your project/IDE/whatever and build the library yourself. Been there, done that for Boost.Test on Windows.
