KDevelop4 has a dependecy on Boost and not just headers. And according
to the author it can't be changed because its the serialization stuff
and Qt's serialization can't compete there. So at some point in the
future we will probably have boost with mingw (I didn't even try to
build it on windows), not sure if msvc can handle that stuff though.
