Anyway, while it all sounds good in theory how many developers are out there trying to use single Boost libraries without installing the others?
Actually, I wasn't thinking about such developers, but about compilation time (lexical cast and algo.str), portability and stability (filesystem).
It sounds like a bit too much effort reinventing what has been implemented in other Boost libraries for what I expect is a relatively small group of developers?
The dependencies I object to are easy to avoid.
Regarding boost::lexical_cast: There is to_string() in Boost.Uuid in 1.44 but not in 1.43. Or what were you thinking of?
I was thinking about sprintf or ostringstream. If you add async_pipe, there will be no need for Boost.Uuid
