Clarification on Hyperscan’s Dependencies: Ragel, Colm, and Boost

Hi Hyperscan team,

According to the documentation, Hyperscan is described as a standalone library. However, during the build process, I noticed dependencies on external libraries such as Ragel, Colm, and Boost.

Could you please clarify the following:

1. Are these dependencies mandatory for all use cases of Hyperscan, or are they only required for specific components or optional features?
2. Why are these external libraries necessary if Hyperscan is supposed to be standalone? Is it possible to build Hyperscan without these dependencies for minimal?

I appreciate your clarification and look forward to any insights you can provide on this matter.

Thanks in advance!

Best regards,
Sedat
