[Boost-users] Library's binary size

In the "Getting Started" section of boost web site,
there should be a requirements section.

When actually built and installed on Windows, the library 1.33
required more than 2GB of disk space. I was targeting VC++ 7.1.
The 1.32 library used more or less 1GB of disk.
The disk space requirements that I mention include the bin subdirectory
created by the build process in the library's source tree, directory that I
generally delete by hand shortly after.

I don't think that any user will run out of disk space but it's better
if the users know about this before they build the library.

Ciao, Ugo
