RE: MySQL++ and Boost

[Jim Wallace]

It may also keep people from using MySQL++.  I know I would think twice
about getting a library that was 5M (MySQL++) that forces me to download
a dependencies that is nearly 10x its size.

It is indeed huge, but I don't count that as a serious ding against it. 
  It's huge on purpose.  :)  I find that I set up Boost once on a
development machine and then never touch it again, so its hugeness
doesn't bother me.

My worries all stem from those who haven't gone through that initial
setup process.  If it doubles my MySQL++ tech support burden, I have to
ask myself whether it's a net benefit after all.
