Hello (and do not top-post).

If you just need the headers, just copy/use the boost/ directory of the
releases.

BCP is a nice tool in theory, but doesn't do the extraction correctly
for some of the libraries.

It _might_ work for you, but be aware that it tends to fail horribly on
anything that uses the preprocessor. It has failed miserably on MPL for
some.
