header-only libraries
Dear Boost experts, I'd like to use the program_options library, but am reluctant to require my users to build parts of Boost. Is there a strong reason that this library cannot be header-only? Or perhaps, it's possible to create a header-only version of this library? I have the same question for regex. Thanks, ilya

You can build the necessary Boost CPP files as part of your own build. Emil Dotchevski Reverge Studios, Inc. http://www.revergestudios.com/reblog/index.php?n=ReCode
