Use of Boost.Filesystem without building as separate library.

Description

It is really tedious to use Boost.Filesystem (and possibly other non-header-only boost library, e.g. Boost.System) in a program because it needs to be built separately. I think it should be possible to add source files of Boost.Filesystem library to project so that Boost.Filesystem sources are built as a part of program itself. This will remove the dependency of building Boost.Filesystem as a separate library and so it will be as good as a header-only library. I have tried this and it seems to be working after commenting out #define BOOST_FILESYSTEM_SOURCE from source files.
