Trying unsuccessfully (so far) to use the Cygwin-provided boost libraries. The
only boost-related package I saw was boost-build, which I've installed.
$ cygcheck -c boost-build
Cygwin Package Information
Package Version Status
boost-build 1.63.0-1 OK

Google seems to be telling me that I have to build (compile) the libraries with
bjam, but finding no relevant documentation on how to do that from the Cygwin
package.
$ pwd
/usr/share/boost-build
$ ls -l

Would appreciate some pointers.
