You will get that error if you are trying to use a Boost lib as a DLL, when
the run time is statically linked.... and that really is a bad idea as the
calling code and the lib will each have different runtimes.  If you
statically link Boost to a DLL that doesn't expose Boost to the outside
world then that should be fine, and should not produce the above message.
