Boost is a *big* library, especially Boost.Graph, of which whole books
have been made off of. I wouldn't be surprised if it did take a long
time to compile all of Boost, fortenetly this won't become a problem,
even if we statically link with boost, you would only be linking with
a very small portion of it.
