OK... but in this case, who are you asking for support? What do you want done?
As I replied earlier:
Personally I'd go as far as suggesting that it be a requirement for any new build tool proposal that individual projects be compilable (and installable) individually.
...and:
* allow an individual project to be built against prerequisite boost libraries that are pre-installed on the system (no matter whether that installation was done manually or using some system package management, as is common on Linux).
which as of now isn't supported by B2 (but easily could, as Rene points out), and which I'd like to request from any alternative build tool that offers support for building Boost. Stefan -- ...ich hab' noch einen Koffer in Berlin...
