I thought boost libraries had to have no external dependancies anyway?

Not necessarily. A boost library should have at least one implementation that doesn't depend on external libraries, but other implementations may. For instance, on Win32, Boost.Threads normally uses native Win32 API calls, but it can be compiled to use the pthreads-win32 library (not sure how well it currently works, however--it has been that way for a long time but I believe it has been a while since anyone tested that configuration).
