Could we use SlicerSOFA instead of Slicer-SOFA in both the github repository name and json file? It is quite annoying that 1-2 extensions uses dash in the name, and I always have to remember when searching for the extension.

Agreed. I will let @RafaelPalomar rename the GitHub project
This does not build on Windows due to boost. (adding address-model=64 architecture=x86 arguments to b2 helps a bit, but boost install still fails)

@lassoan SOFA does not need to build/install Boost; it uses header-only components. In Slicer/SlicerSOFA#28 we made changes in the build system, so boost is not built nor installed. I have not tried yet on Windows, but this should solve these problems.
@RafaelPalomar confirmed that the extensions build and packaging now works well on Windows with https://github.com/Slicer/SlicerSOFA/pull/28. If you merge that PR then we can merge this.
