Issue description
We use boost::po to parse command-line parameters.

While it is an o.k. library, the interface is not as nice as it could be and, being the only non-header-only Boost library we use, isn't enough to justify the run-time dependency on Boost - which means binary incompatibility with each new Boost version.

We should replace boost::po with something more minimal or possibly write or own command-line parser - we don't need much functionality here anyway. The hardest part will be maintaining compatibility with current command-line options and all variations boost::po allows (within reason).
