Huh ? I don't understand... forgive me for my ignorance, since I'm 
probably missing your point, but I just, for example, #include 
<boost/iostreams/stream.hpp> and it just works, without linking to any 
special lib... what exactly are your needs that require linking against 
a lib? Or is it that bzip2/zlib support needs linking with a boost 
library ?
