Mateusz, qq. How does the Boost Geometry extensions work when they are referencing each other? For instance, gil::io_new includes some stuff from gil::toolbox. Meaning when someone checks out gil::io_new he/she would need to download toolbox, as well. The only solution, I can think of, is to check out all extensions at all time. Like we do with boost. When using boost we tend to have all of the boost code at hand and not a subset. I think we should make that a recommendation in the documentation.
So far, I have identified only two inter-extensions dependencies in Boost.Geometry. It is: 1) gis/projections use gis/geographic by including <boost/geometry/extensions/gis/geographic/strategies/dms_parser.hpp> 2) gis/latlong use gis/geographic by including <boost/geometry/extensions/gis/geographic/strategies/andoyer.hpp> In fact, we have not documented any recommendations for extensions users yet, but I suppose the approach of grabbing all extensions at once would be the simplest way to use them. However, it's a good idea to include information, in docs, that particular extension A requires extension B, C, ... So, user can makes its own way to install extensions.
