Recently we had a flurry of discussion of why Boost is not more widely used.
I have used some bits of Boost happily for years, but recently I felt I had to use it 'properly' so concluded it was time I used the bjam build system - something I had felt looked a bit clever.

* Finally, installing boost takes longer than installing VC++... Is building from the source such an important point ? Would'nt it be possible to provide pre-built libraries for the 3 or 4 main compilers on windows with each release ? The whole package, zipped, is 80mb on my VC8.
