Library code normally needs to be compiled separately into a library
file that is then statically or dynamically linked with the client
code.

Boost is unusual in that many of its libraries contain only inline
and template functions that are compiled along with the client code.
However, the date_time, filesystem, graph, python, regex, signals,
test, and thread libraries have some code that must be separately
compiled.  See the file tools/build/index.html in the Boost
distribution or on www.boost.org.
