You can use the bcp tool in Boost to specify parts of boost that you want; it will extract those parts and anything those parts need to work, and you can include that part with your code.

Hi! I'm not sure if I understand correctly, but if others only want to _run_ your utililty and not _edit_ it, you should be able to distribute it in compiled form. AFAIK tokenizer is a header only library and as such doesn't need anything external at runtime. Ben
