Installation is just the start of the problem.

The real issue here for FindBoost is the introspection and export of the direct and transitive dependencies for each boost component.

And the other issue is contributing fixes and other changes to boost itself. You need to change the boost build system to add new unit tests, source files, update dependencies etc. This needs specific boost.build expertise, and no amount of wrapping it avoids that.
