What about all the existing Visual projects and solutions?
All existing Visual Studio projects and solutions, and everything that still points its include directory to the Boost root, will (should) continue to work because of the symbolic link from $BOOST_ROOT/boost -> $BOOST_ROOT/include/boost, which I've proposed for this purpose.
Unfortunately this is not the case, as symlinks are Complicated™ on Windows and don't work by default out of the box. Personally, I don't mind changing every project, because I don't actually have to change every project, I just have to change the "UseBoost" common property sheet I use in every project instead. :) (But I suspect that's not the case for most.)
