[Boost-users] building boost with a specific msvc runtime

I'm trying to get a consistent VC++ runtime for distribution, but I
cannot find anything getting boost/bjam to cooperate.

I have successfully compiled libcurl and UnitTest++ with the method in
this link.

The idea being that you include a header in each file and then it will
only have that one runtime dependency.

b2 has options for setting cxxflags, though they do not seem to honor
my /FI compile option to use the header and force the correct runtime.
I assume that they are using something else. I suppose boost doesn't
use the msvc flags.

How should I accomplish this?
