Hmm, I seem to be able to build inkscape r15781 without boost being compiled, I just unpacked the boost sources to some place and point build.xml to the directory.
Boost is a large collection of individual C++ libraries, most of which are header-only, and we only use a couple of those. I think we could safely excerpt just the libraries we need.

My thoughts exactly. If people really need these 2 or 3 dependent h++ files, then why don't we add them to the tree. Being able to compile with just these and not the rest of Boost will prove that there is not a cascading dependency to the vast majority of Boost.
Is that agreed? I like that.
