get rid of Boost library components
Boost is painful to install and deploy. Latest mess is #1074 and #1085 (closed).
As we use only two compiled Boost component libraries, the best solution is to rid of them for good. Dependence on Boost header-only components is less problematic. Copying the headers to our 3rdparty directory turned out to cause new difficulties, and will not be attempted again any soon.
