This would replace the need to invoke a command
line executable alien to the targeted user base by
the need to download, install, and use a plugin
alien to them.
Really, if you want to boost the interest in boost,
make using it easy on all platforms. This means it
should be doable in a way that's very common on
that platform. For Unix, invoking CLI tools is
common, so downloading and invoking a special tool
might be OK. On Windows, downloading a project
file is common, so ideally project files is what
boost should provide. For obvious reasons, those
should somehow be generated from whatever
Boost.Build uses.
Whether this is possible I don't know. But that's
the ideal.
