[cpp-netlib-devel] header vs compiled

[John P. F. <jf...@ov...>]

I am starting to doubt the header only principle of the netlib. If this 
is open for debate, than I think we should look at the time incurred not 
only by the compile length of the library, but also of recently employed 
dependencies (a spirit based URI implementation). It could be reasoned, 
if the time required for the tests is any indication, that they will 
only get longer for the end-user as features are added. At what point 
does this become intolerable? This library has barely scratched the 
surface, and it seems to me that it would behoove both the user and the 
developer if these times could be cut down.
