- What are the biggest problems with using Boost.Graph?

While I don't use Boost.Graph myself, I've observed on several occasions the "surprise" (to put it politely) that build2 users express at the fact that Boost.Graph depends on Boost.Regex (which in turn pulls in heavy- weight stuff like ICU). While there might be valid reasons why a graph library would require regex, you may wan to consider at least making this dependency optional.

Ahh, interesting, thank you! I wasn't aware of that dependency; it's definitely one of the problem areas that feedback on Reddit has mentioned. Cheers. Jeremy
