boost breaks every so often, its okay to link it statically for special 
purposes. Speaking generally. and the static libs are only in the -devel 
subpackage, which a normal user doesn`t have installed. 

of course it would be nicer if libzypp would only have a libboost_filesystem 
instead of dragging in all of boost, but given that I removed the 10MB regex 
dependency, its your job to file a bugreport about splitting boost ;)

Greetings,
Dirk
