Unfortunately, with g++-4.5 there's a bug that prevents boost-1.42
combination to compile correctly.
I can't change my versions of tools/libraries either, since the code
is shared among
several people and that would do some harm to cooperation.
Maybe I could have avoided the use of any_image, but anyway, now
compile time is at least acceptable.

I managed to lower the compile times quite a bit (from 10 to 2
minutes!). I just factored
the common code in a common init function. Sorry, I'm not allowed to
send the code.

Whenever we can upgrade boost we can try g++-4.5, which should be
faster as well.

Thanks for your time.
