Aside: I don't believe that Boost is "non-platform-neutral."

I believe that most of Boost *is* platform-neutral --- although it tends to
make heavy use of modern C++ features, and thus can have problems with specific
platforms that don't implement specific features (or don't implement them
100%).

In any case, you are right that dependencies make the world harder, so it is
worth considering the trade-offs involved.
