Perfect. Let's put this on the TODO list. I want to rejig a few things anyway
(ie no longer start bcp with a look at bigmemory a la Jay and Mike but make
it run over an explicit boost libs list) so there will be testing.

AFAIK there is no compile-time limit. There is one for tests.  (My 10-years
old RQuantLib package is a beast, also due to heavy Boost and C++ use in
QuantLib. Try (re-) building that for a comparison -- on Ubuntu/Debian you
just need libquantlib-dev install. Might be useful for you in discussing /
deciding what to do with RStan...)
