This feature request is about providing a third one, where the library's code is provided via include files but is not inline. There already is an implementation based on 1.35 and 1.36 in the [https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/browser/sandbox/compile-in-place sandbox], including a readme that explains the motives for this feature a bit further and example code. A port of 1.37 is also in work there, but not finished. Later revisions and trunk haven't been started yet for lack of time.
