Point taken. I am considering a stand-alone cxx_dual, but its reliance on Boost Config is a pretty big burden to overcome unless I incorporate much Boost Config logic in my own code, which I am not sanguine about doing. Boost Config is a magnificent achievement, without which cxx_dual does not exist. I acknowkledge that in the doc.
Perhaps it's another argument for truly-modular Boost, where you can download individual libraries rather than a monolithic release. I never really have any issues with including Boost code in desktop build environments, but it becomes a harder sell when writing embedded or cross-compiled code. (I usually still do it anyway, typically to plug holes in the libc, but it requires more justification.)
