These come from other LMI code -- ncurses is needed for getch() used by
alert_cli.cpp and boost system is a dependency of boost filesystem.
Apparently, that's not the case with MinGW (I can see ncurses referenced
only in configure.ac for the Unix build system) and your version of
Boost. Feel free to remove these, then.

Would this patch help with that?

If not, I'll just remove boost::format uses -- it's nice to have,
but by no means essential.
