All of those are in recent STLs, the only remaining one without 
Filesystem is libc++.

APIBind does enough of Predef to probably eliminate that.

string_ref is probably best replaced with string_view, which is 
standalone.

WinAPI is replaceable with windows.h :)

If you do decide to make the conversion, APIBind will save you a ton 
of work and let one code base be both a Boost library and a 
standalone library.
