Why not use official binaries? #46

Why not use the binaries from the 7z or zip file linked to here and then just pack them in a NuGet? It saves you the time of building and the hassle of having some machine with all these compilers configured correctly + you know the binaries are exactly the same as the official ones.

getboost already uses these binaries

Ok @sergey-shandar sorry to bother you in that case. I assumed you build boost yourself because the readme talks about "Building Boost" and "Run boost.bat. It may take several hours to complete."
