DMD statically links the C standard library (and maybe something 
else).

There is no risk for DMD and DFL to depend on a Mir's Boost 
licensed library. If something happens with Mir or Mir change the 
license, DFL will be able to fork the required code at any point 
in the Boost licensed part of git history.
