but a few minor observations...
As usual was confused by instructions on building libraries.
What exactly was confused? Did you follow "Simplified Build from Source", or something else?
No warning that it will take quite a long time.
Where do you suggest to print/show such a warning?
I suspect many Windows users may not need all the versions of all the libraries. Regex and Test and Datetime most popular?
I repeat my suggestion that a few well-chosen command files would be *much* more immediately useful and reduce the steady stream of cries for help on the mailing list.
Can you elaborate?
Not helped by missing link to Boost.Build documentation:
File "boost-build/doc/html/bbv2/advanced/invocation.html"not found.
From: "For a complete description of these and other invocation options, please see the Boost.Build documentation."
This is a strange hiccup of the web site. The nightly build of Boost.Build, which is pulled by the site and then served, is just fine. - Volodya
