Its just not good practice and I suspect a non-empty subset of new boost users are also new to C++.
5 years ago I believed it was a serious issue too -- I've substantially changed my mind.
Oh yeah, same here. Although I don't have any problem using libraries which require building, I really like using these header-only libraries in boost. Regarding new user, don't forget when we test/try some new libraries, we are all new users. Even when we write some write-test-throw experiment code, it is a great convenience with a header-only library.
