Compilation & Linking Prerequisites:
- GNU g++ (gcc v4.7.3 or greater, uses --std=c++0`x )
- MongoDB C++ Client Library using the "legacy" branch.
- Boost 1.55.x or greater. This is because of g++ compile option --std=c++0x and issues with TIME_UTC. See MongoDB JIRA Issue SERVER-6340. MongoType will probably compile with Boost 1.50+ with minor backporting.
