Description

We probably want to do this at some point. It will remove one fragility in the build system (currently, we select whether we need boost::filesystem or not depending on the selected build options, then set the ARROW_WITH_BOOST_FILESYSTEM macro that triggers compiling different versions of a couple utility functions).
