I dont't know either. But other libraries seem to build both debug and
release when no specific BUILD variable is set.

No actually it comes from my project were i just included
boost\date_time\ptime.hpp
and made and declared some functions taking ptimes and compiling the
translation unit with empty function bodies.

Another nitpick about the documentation.
The convertion functions named .*iso* maybe should refer to wich ISO
standard it converts to and from I presume it is ISO 8601:2000 or something
like that .
