Yeah, I had found that one before, but slight issue, it is infected by the GPL:
  GNU Library or Lesser General Public License (LGPL)
Which does not react well with BSD code that needs to *stay* BSD, I do
not want to restrict the code any further, I would prefer the Boost
license though (as I generally release all my own code as unless
forced otherwise by crap like (L)GPL).  I need to statically link it
into a single binary, so the L part of the LGPL is worthless here.
