No, spirit isn't for bytecode, its for text, like parsing the config
files such as data/buildings.txt, which is what I thought it would be
usefull for.

Boost isn't entirely template based, although a great deal of it is. I
would say that increased compile time isn't neccessarilly a problem,
Boost developers have been carefull to do their code to reduce code
bloat and compile times, however using boost will certainly show an
increase in compile times, the development times and debugging times
will drop as well.
