Under Linux (I can't do this in Windows yet) I have had no difficulty
using distutils to build boost.python extensions.  Just put
boost_python in the list of library dependencies and it works; my
shoutpy (http://dingoskidneys.com/shoutpy/) would be a reasonable example.

It is especially easy with boost packages since the standard include
and library paths are all that's necessary.
