This is a header-only component since Boost 1.69 and the stub library is no longer available since 1.89, which breaks builds requiring it. This makes it optional to allow building with older versions of Boost. (innoextract doesn't use it directly so it could probably be removed entirely, but I haven't checked builds with older versions of Boost.)

See https://www.boost.org/releases/1.89.0/ for details.
