I understand the feeling, but maybe it doesn't have to be as bad as that. I
too want to work with the latest and bleeding edge, but it does make it a
PIA for people to package or build one's project. Personally - and that's
just an opinion - I feel like limiting dependencies to  the the minimum of
the latest Ubuntu LTS release and ports or brew on MacOSX, would be a
reasonable compromise (on 12.04LTS that's 1.49, on 14.04LTS that's 1.54, so
1.54, I'm not sure which flavour of ports you use on the Mac). These likely
have all the frills that you already need. Anyhow. At least Boost always
builds and install flawlessly, so it's just time that it takes and some
manual configuration.

Beancount depends on Python3.3, so I'm also culpable of forcing people to
upgrade their systems manually (for a short little while more to go, I
think it'll be everywhere soon enough however).
