I'm not seeing this at all. I don't think any solution which requires a user to download, build and execute b2 is going to fly.
Unless you want to limit yourself to the subset of Boost which is header-only, or commit to supplying binary packages for every conceivable combination of compiler and platform, then I don't think that there is any alternative.
Sure there is.. You could add all the source files from the standard source directory and plop them into your own build tool. And hit the "big red build button".
And that won't work because it will be using the wrong settings. Given that current Boost release archives already require users to run b2 in almost all cases, I don't see why this aversion exists.
