It is required, otherwise configuration is successful but compilation fails:

  CXX      os.o
../../../src/support/checksum.cpp:13:10: fatal error: boost/crc.hpp: No such file or directory
   13 | #include "boost/crc.hpp"
      |          ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
compilation terminated.

So, either warn at the end of configuration that compilation is going
to fail, or automatically switch to included boost.
