Boost.Asio as header-only

AFAIK you can get the non-boost version of asio from http://think-async.com/Asio/AsioAndBoostAsio

“— Boost.Asio uses the Boost.System library to provide support for error codes ( boost::system::error_code and boost::system::system_error). Asio includes these under its own namespace ( asio::error_code and asio::system_error). The Boost.System version of these classes currently supports better extensibility for user-defined error codes.

— Asio is header-file-only and for most uses does not require linking against any Boost library. Boost.Asio always requires that you link against the Boost.System library, and also against Boost.Thread if you want to launch threads using boost::thread.”
