 It is really tedious to use Boost.Filesystem (and possibly other non-
 header-only boost library, e.g. Boost.System) in a program because it
 needs to be built separately. I think it should be possible to add source
 files of Boost.Filesystem library to project so that Boost.Filesystem
 sources are built as a part of program itself. This will remove the
 dependency of building Boost.Filesystem as a separate library and so it
 will be as good as a header-only library.
 I have tried this and it seems to be working after commenting out #define
 BOOST_FILESYSTEM_SOURCE from source files.
