No, that's OK. The bloat is only in the source, not in the libary (I
haven't built it yet but I expect it will be in the order of 100K).
I mainly made the remark to trigger you to consider if it is really
needed. But I think I get it now: boost.Python is an alternative for
something like swig or sip. I first thought it was using some of boost's
standard C++ library alternatives.
