I am using version 0.5 of cpp-netlib. I was read that discussion, but wasn't 
understand
is that implemented or not. I think this point is important to implement - 
library will
be more lightweight when external dependecies will be removed.

Usage is quite simple, if that described in documentation ;)
But its much incomplete, and research for details is difficult.
