My hunch is that the C wrappers are really only useful for exporting
boost functionality to other languages.  IME, it's usually the lowest
level pieces that are written in C (or asm), and get aggregated into a
C++ compilation unit.

I would be curious to know if there are current use cases for
importing boost into C compilation units.  Anyone?
