that's not my problem, I can get it to compile, in fact with all default
options it compiles just fine, at least on my system.

What I'm asking here is what configure should do if you specify
- --without-boost-lib or --without-boost-system

Currently it'll fail during build (for --without-boost-lib because it
naively included 'libno' now, and for --without-boost-system it'll fail
with unresolved symbols), which is certainly wrong.

Are we making boost libs mandatory? If so, should we remove all
non-boostlib usage from the source? (while i'm wary of having this
run-time dependency added, esp. on something as changeable as boost, i'd
love to get all the ifdefs out if they're not absolutely completely
necessary)
