Oh yeah, same here.
Although I don't have any problem using libraries which require
building, I really like using these header-only libraries in boost.
Regarding new user, don't forget when we test/try some new libraries,
we are all new users. Even when we write some write-test-throw
experiment code, it is a great convenience with a header-only
library.
