There is a small, yet active community of individuals working on the
Improving Boost Docs project:
http://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/wiki/ImprovingBoostDocs
I'm forwarding your concern to the boost docs mailing list so that it is
brought to the group's collective attention, as I feel that from the user's
standpoint it is a valid concern.
If you have any input on the state of Boost Docs, feel free to send a
message to the boost-docs mailing list with your suggestions :)

That's they way I do it now.
I do use bjam from running the whole test suite overnight.
But for making library tweaks and running particular tests and building
the
serialization library for experiments etc, I do every thing from Visual
Studio.
If its too hard to just import the sources into your project then there is
a
problem. If there is a lot of "hidden" information in bjam and/or bjam
files that is needed to do this then that could be a problem.
I should not that it WAS a pain getting all the IDE settings just right -
but like my recent toothache - its all better now.
I would feel better about bjam if it more like the rest of boost as far as
being subjected to the normal boost gauntlet. That is I would like to see
look like a libray, with self-contained complete documentaion, tutorial,
samples, tests, formal review, etc., etc. I would like to see it promoted
on its own rather than just a "boost tool". I think this would result in
a
higher level of usability and stability. Of course this would be a large
effort that perhaps is too much to undertake.
BTW - The same goes for quickbooks. It looks very nice. But I'm a little
bit concerned that its being developped at the same time time its being
used
to produce boost documentation. I'm concerned that if I make a commitment
to it, I'll be left standing on an iceberg. Seems solid but is really
constantly shifting requiring constant attention.
Just one man's 2 cents.
