Selecting boost and/or other components as requirement I think we already
decrease number of supported compilers.

I think regardles it is testing of wx3 api on top of wx2 or wx2 port on top of
wx3, we would need to write wxDateTime2boostdate-like converters. But once
done, will serve for both ways.
