Would it worthwhile to use a local, MSVC-only, implementation of erf? 
This would remove the dependence on Boost (which is not used otherwise 
on our supported windows compiler: VC9 express and later), avoid 
having to edit its code, and simplify the CMake files.

There seem to be several implementations that would be adequate, since 
I don't think the requirement in the qeq and qtpie methods are very 
stringent. I have one (apparently good to  better than 1 in 10^11 for 
the range I tested over) ready to upload (in a .h file), if this is 
considered appropriate.
