There are a lot of ways to skin this cat.

We have been toying with PostSharp to inject the INotifyProperty boilerplate. That seems to work pretty good.

Have you considered just using a code snippet? It will write the boilerplate for you. The only disadvantage is that it will not update automatically if you want to change the property name at some later date.
