Ihave found that a little patch to Boost.System could make it header-only. It seems that Beman has already tried it, but there are some errors.

I'd like to make Boost.System available for header-only use, but IIRC the suggested changes broke some other libraries that use Boost.System. Also, I'd like to see a Boost guideline worked out for how to make libraries header only without dumping vast numbers of names for operating system headers into the global namespace. --Beman
