It actually does slow things down noticeably, since it's a small project.

Exactly.  I have 47 more files checked into source control that everybody
else has to download (and have the tool check every time they refresh) so
that I can parse a command line.  I suppose I could check in the whole boost
library, (~2000 files in the download I got,) but I'd rather just take what
I need for now.

Evidently reviewers thought 20 was reasonable, and I assume that some major
problems are solved by the 47 headers that weren't by 20.  I just wondered
if there was a lighter weight way in boost to do my little tokenizing task.
Is there?
