RE: [boost] BOOST TEST and strict /Za - auto_link to test library

auto_link looks good but I tripped on this because it needs a prior

#include <boost/config.hpp>   // for BOOST_MSVC definition

and the "not all defined" clause does not contain a #error message to give some
clue that no #pragma ... is going to happen :-(

but looks promising otherwise.

I am also unclear if you are suggesting a 'standard' location for the library
file(s)

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Vc7\lib   aka

$(VCInstallDir)lib

Also I got a file rather strangely called:

libUnit_test_library_vc71_ssd.lib

Starting with lib_ rather than lib might be more readable?

BOOST_LIB_PREFIX:     "lib" for static libraries otherwise ""

I don't see why static libraries are prefixed?  MS convention?

Thanks

Paul
