The Program Options lib is listed in the documentation as header

In particular it's complaining about not having

It's a lib and dependent on your linker settings it is either linked 
statically or as a shared library (DLL).
Ah, that's not what the docs say:

Program Options
The program_options library allows program developers to obtain
program options, that is (name, value) pairs from the user, via 
conventional methods such as command line and config file.

        Header only
Similarly the 'Getting Started' page doesn't list it as needing to be 
pre-built.

Should I file a bug report for that?
