I have seen the mention of bjam install here:
http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_41_0/more/getting_started/unix-variants.html#easy-build-and-install


There are pages on the web that present steps to install Boost step-by-step 
and then compile CGAL. For example:

http://acg.cs.tau.ac.il/cgal-at-tau/installing-cgal-and-related-programs-on-windows
  (Installation on Windows, 32 bits, as far as I can see.)

http://alice.loria.fr/WIKI/index.php/Graphite/CGAL
  (Speaks about CGAL-3.4, but the same should work for CGAL-3.5. Mention 
32/64 bits.)
