| Great, found it. I also added a few more 
| boost packages (is that the correct term ?!)
| to CreateBoost.R, but one more problem is

Department of Bad News over here:  The idea of BH is/was to just rely on
headers.  Boost does lots with templates, and by relying just on them we have
the ability to work portably with R's "LinkingTo: BH" with any other effort.

Of course, but there are a few notable exceptions. Boost regex is one, and
the system / error code library you have here is another.

We can't help with that as this would get us towards the need for linking,
configure, ... and all that.

No easy ones, unfortunately.
