I actually tried the latter option at one point for one of my programs.  I 
don't think I copied over enough headers or something however because I 
wasn't able to get it to work.  I would say that copying over the code is the 
most convienient option, but isn't boost only required at compile-time for 
shared_ptr?  If so then boost is already required by kdepimlibs I thought.
