We have the Boost library in our side. It consists of huge amount of files which are not changing ever and only a tiny portion of it is used. We swap the whole boost directory if we are changing versions. Currently we have the Boost sources in our SVN, file by file which makes the checkout operations very slow, especially on Windows.
It would be nice if there were a notation / plugin to address C++ files inside ZIP files, something like:
// @ZIPFS ASSIGN 'boost' 'boost.zip/boost'
#include <boost/smart_ptr/shared_ptr.hpp>
Are there any support for compiler hooks in g++? Are there any effort regarding ZIP support? Other ideas?
