At this point, you're done. The library is installed, as it only consists of 
headers and doesn't need to be compiled.

You can safely ignore those until you feel something is wrong--they're unit 
tests. There probably is a way of running them automatically if the bindings 
are unpacked as part of the boost tree, but I haven't yet figured out how to 
make them work independently.

If anybody can provide guidance on that, I'd be grateful btw.

Yeah, that's probably due to the missing boost root, see above.
