It is the Message Compiler. It is required for the Event Log backend on Windows.
Could this be used conditionaly?
Not right now, I'm afraid. But I have plans of improving configurability of the library.
Great. Let me know when the library will be able to run on platforms not supporting wide chars, without dependencies to external tools (mc) and in single thread.
You already can disable wide character support.
Unless I'm mistaken, you can already use it without dependency on external tools if you're not using the event log backend. If you are using the event log backend, the the mc compiler isn't a requirement of boost.log, it's a requirement of windows itself so I don't see any obvious ways around it.
Well, order to build without mc, the event log sink would have to be removed from the Jamfile.
