Ion: I think you are probably quite right...and I am just going to have to find another method.  I guess I could always give a quick try, but testing would become an issue.  How would I really know there are no broken edge cases...

Nat: The CORBA implementation works this way.  I submit an IDL file that defines my object model (OM) to a website.  What I get back is a library (binary, no source) and a pile of additional source files.  Together they implement my OM using CORBA.  They have dependencies on Boost 1.31.  When I link my application, I link in autogenerated COBRA libs, Boost 1.31 libs, and include in various places Boost header files.

Thanks for the input,
