This is a known problem with the "staging" support in the current
Boost.Build.  I *believe* (don't quote me) the Boost.Build developers plan
to fix this in V2, but not before then.  You have two choices... use the
original files (buried in the build directories according to variants used)
or recreate the import library from the renamed DLL using what ever tools
your compiler supplies for doing this.  For the PDB you'll have to just use
the originals.
