Comment (by rhaas):

 In that case: how about including only donwload instructions in the ET
 thornlist so that users can uncomment them when Boost is needed. ie:

 {{{
 # Boost library
 !TARGET   = $ARR
 !TYPE     = git
 !AUTH_URL = git at github.com:dradice/Boost.git
 !URL      = git://github.com/dradice/Boost.git
 !REPO_PATH = ../$2
 !CHECKOUT =
 #ExternalLibraries/Boost
 }}}

 It does take a while to compile. For some reason it also does not pick up
 a -j option which I think the other ExternalLibraries see (or do they?).
