I'll only add one library of boost, but we can add others later. Smart
pointers might be really helpful in some areas.

Ivanovic will warn them with the mail for 1.2.12.

I already wrote some code and will commit that after tagging 1.2.12. zlib

boost.iostreams[1]. For Debian installing libboost-iostreams-dev did the
