Re: [boost] [cmake] Minimum viable cmakeification for Boost

For reference, here is the ONE .cpp file which makes Boost.System not header-only: https://github.com/boostorg/system/blob/develop/src/error_code.cpp#L14

and here's that one header it includes https://github.com/boostorg/system/blob/develop/include/boost/system/detail/...

We make people link against Boost.System just for that?

No, for that: https://github.com/boostorg/system/blob/master/include/boost/system/detail/e... Or, in general, we use separate compilation to isolate the users of the library from the header dependencies required to build (but not use) the library.

Boost.System should be header-only by default.

In this case, after the recent fixes, maybe.
