+[section:appendix_b Appendix B - Optional Dependencies]
+
+As suggested by Boost guidelines and our thoughts, we tried to keep the number of dependencies of Boost.Extension
+at the minimum. But we also wanted to take advantage of several boost libraries that have additional features
+and are easy to use.
+
+Then, we give the option to the user. Currently we have two different flags that change the implementation
+of the library:
+
+# BOOST_EXTENSION_USE_PP: enables the use of Boost.Preprocessor to implement some repetitive code.
+
+# BOOST_EXTENSION_USE_BOOST_FUNCTION: enables the use of Boost.Function to implement the functors pointing
+to the plugin implementations.
+
+You should define the variables at your convenience with any value to enable the use of each library.
