Sorry about the long subject line.  lol.

Also, I just took a look at your blog.  Nice.  I've added it to my
bookmarks of blogs that I read.

You make a good valid point.  It guess it really just comes down to
the "hastle" factor.

Managing libraries is just a pain.  I cant tell you how many times

related to making sure that all the current libraries are in place for
the library to compile.

My experience with header only libraries is much more pleasant.
