Concur, stop your head-aches and use vcpkg, problem over.
AFAIK, vcpkg is MSVC-specific. Not all Windows users use MSVC.
IIRC It runs on windows, linux and mac. with msvc/clang, clang/gcc and I don't know, which compilers are supported on mac. I think usage with mingw on windows requires some manual configuration, but as it is cmake based, I would be surprised if it didn't work.

Well, if there was an easy way to tell vcpkg, with which language level to build boost with, I would agree, but it is definitively good enough and much better than the binary distribution.
