Require Boost as a dependency instead of bundling it #149

Closed seqre closed 6 months ago

seqre commented 6 months ago

Once #139 got merged, I noticed that the bundled Boost libraries do not differ at all from the released source packages. I suggest removing them altogether from the repository and requiring them as a dependency (installed using the system package manager or user preferred method). Apart from the benefit of a smaller and cleaner repo, it would also give the benefits explained in #71.
