Let's say I want an apple sauce. Instead you giving me an apples (they may be good ones or not so much, since for sauce it doesn't really matter and why waste good apples on sauce) and saying that if I have powerful enough mixer (or whatever it called) I could get a sauce in just a second. And the reason you are telling me is that there are some people out there who may've want slightly less sugar. I believe it's not good enough: give me my sauce - I do not want spend time making one, I do not have an appropriate mixer and I do not have a space to store all these apples.
Sorry, now I've lost you completely. I'm not able to follow your metaphers here. What are the apples? - Boost? And what's the sugar? - Wave?
Apples - is your source (files) Apple sause - is you product - Wave C++ preprocessor Sugar - is a minor configuration difference Mixer - compiler
