Description

Currently metslib of PCL requires boost, because of this commit https://github.com/PointCloudLibrary/pcl/commit/57ace9a92d1667eaa6193262032ff688e222ce0f. Even if we revert changes from there it won't compile, because metslib is using tr1 and not final C++11 standard and there is no update to this lib. So we should adjust code there.

Research direction

Start by inspecting the metslib integration and the referenced commit 57ace9a92d1667eaa6193262032ff688e222ce0f. Identify the code that depends on Boost and TR1, then verify that the metslib-related code builds using C++11 without those dependencies.
