That would simplify things a great deal. I've never tried it though... an extra 130K of headers in every source code file that uses the library is a little much, isn't it?
I don't think that's an issue. Most(almost all) of that code is conditionally compiled and the final size of what would end up in a binnary will be very small. Also let me check some of the other libraries in boost. Here in alphabethic order (Afaict all of these are header only) accumulators - 506k algoritm - 305k archive - 395k asio - 1.5MiB assign - 95k bitmap - 488k bind - 177k Also because ubuntu screwed up their boost doesn't mean that all distros will. The default compiled behaviour should be the one that works in all cases not the one that's faster imho.
