 > Dave,
 > I'm confused about your last change of this issue -- what build changes
 are called for? Is the conclusion to implement complete build by default
 on MSVC?

 Is everyone somehow waiting for me to decide?  As far as I can tell, the
 workable solution above seems to be that BB creates all variants by
 default when target-os=windows, but frankly once it was understood that
 changes by others to BB broke the "getting started" guide I stopped trying
 to figure out exactly what the best solution to the problem was.

 > Was the Linux version of getting started adjusted to document (the
 desired and agreed-on) change in the set of built variants?

 No, but I'm not yet sure what change is needed. s/libboost_regex-
 gcc34-mt-d-1_35.a/libboost_regex-gcc34-mt-d-1_35.so/ ?
