There will most likely be no trouble, I think.  If monotone uses no  
binary libraries from Boost (as is the case now), the user will only  
need to have an unpacked boost tarball somewhere in his file system  
and point the compiler to use the include files from there.  He does  
not have to deal with Boost.Build at all (e.g. not build binary  
libraries nor install anything into his system), which is the thing  
that uses to cause a lot of trouble.
