I was really looking forward to removing all boost dependencies.
IIRC, xmlwrapp uses only boost's "singleton pool", and only if
it's available. IOW, it's an optional optimization, so this
doesn't stand in the way of eliminating boost--true?

That's all we need to know: then the updated 'install_cygwin.bat'
should meet all anticipated future needs. We don't know when we'll
upgrade cygwin in the office; it's just good to have everything
tested first.
