But then you need two compilation environment which not everyone can get
(or be authorized to use in some companies).
My point is that there shouldn't be a need for this: you can already
compile for 64 or 32 bit with your compiler, only boost lacks a way to find
the right binaries.
I myself can't use another environment at the moment. And I don't want to,
I need to work with a single laptop from everywhere and don't have space
and patience for dual boot.
