[boost] DLL hell

Hello everybody,

I just got the boost_1.30.0 version. Some libraries (like thread) require use of a DLL. However I would like to avoid the DLL hell. From looking at the output of the thread build it looks like a statically linkable library is not available.

Is there some reason why I would not be able to create a static library for the thread library in VC7.1? Has anybody done this already? I feel this is very important because maintenance of multiple dll versions on client machines can be a really nasty problem.

Regards, Martin.
