 Olivier,

 I'm running into some issues with getting to compile sfcgal.  I have boost
 1.46 and CGAL 4.2 compiled.  I had to recompile boost because I had
 compiled a minimalist version and sfcgal seems to require a LOT of boost
 parts and after recompiling I was left with these last 2 dependencies.

 Now I am left with this:

   Some (but not all) of the required Boost libraries were found.  You may
   need to install these additional Boost libraries.  Alternatively, set
   BOOST_LIBRARYDIR to the directory containing Boost libraries or
 BOOST_ROOT
   to the location of Boost.

 It seems boost_chrono came in boost 1.47.  according to this:

 http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6730422/boost-chrono-vs-boost-date-time

 Does SFCGAL really need like 20 bits of boost or can we reduce teh
 footprint a bit so mere mortals or people with not more up to date boost
 can compile this :)

 FROM CGAL 4.2 make -- all CGAL 4.2 uses from boost is boost_thread and
 boost_system

 Also do we really need DOXYGEN to be able to compile this?
