It would seem to require changes to every single Visual Studio Project.
Others have already pointed out that the symlink makes changing the -I unnecessary, but even it were necessary it seems unlikely to be a huge deal for most people. You'd imagine most do not manage large numbers of project files individually but rather use CMake/Boost.Build/scons/Visual Studio's property sheets to manage them centrally..
One would now - but what about the millions of projects built before Property pages were introduced? Paul PS And yes - having library files in boost/stage/lib is bizarre. All this should have been sorted out as part of modularization - but it was such a struggle to get it to work at all, I can understand why is wasn't.
