Documentation Suggestion.

Hi.

I enjoy boost library these days, and really appreciate it.

However, sometimes, I found it very hard to even compile a program that uses boost libraries. As an example, serialization library needs libboost_serialization.so.  

Hence, I have to compile a program like the following:
g++ -lboost_serializatino foo.cpp

Nevertheless, AFAIK, nowhere in the document, how to compile a program is not presented. Some of the docs even mention the header file. I don't know why this is so common in the documentation of boost, and I think mentioning how to compile will be very useful for users.

So, please, please put some 'how to compile' section especially if the library needs -lxxx_library flag.

I really thank boost developers' time and efforts.

Sincerely,
Minkoo Seo
