Please, please don't use Boost. It is so huge. We went through that before when someone
used a few Boost classes, and it slowed everyone down doing gets from source control, etc.
I must admit it has some cool stuff.

I'm not worried about using Boost features in MySQL++. I'm worried about telling every

MySQL++ will work. I'm worried about 90% of problem reports to this list being Boost
misconfiguration problems.
