[Boost-users] Minimal installation with smart pointers only

From: Mateusz Łoskot (mateusz_at_[hidden])

Hi,

Today, I tried to extract smart pointers library from Boost tree  using
bcp tool.
Everything seems to work well:
1. I checkouted latest Boost CVS
2. I build bcp without any problems, using VC++ 8.0
3. I run bcp --cvs --list to see how many files are related to
smart_ptr.hpp (and shared_ptr.hpp too).

4. Finally, I extracted smart pointers library:

d:\boost_cvs> bcp --cvs smart_ptr.hpp d:\tmp\boost-smart_ptr

Next, I compiled some examples using this extraction and everything
works well.

My only question is if this is normal that smart_ptr extraction weight
is about 2.8MB ?
Are there any options that can be used to make this package smaller?

Here is a linsg (looong) of files that I got copied during the
extraction process. Could anyone take a look at it and see if there are
some files not used which can be safely removed?
