Fine to hear!

Since I am still in the stage of learning to understand bjam the following
observation might be of no significance, but who knows....

In the file:
boost\bin\boost\libs\thread\test\test_thread_lib.test\vc7.1\debug\runtime-link-static\threading-multi\test_thread_lib.CMD
which obviously specifies the linker input I found somethin strange:

"..\..\..\bin\boost\libs\thread\test\test_thread_lib.test\vc7.1\debug\runtime-link-static\threading-multi\test_thread.obj"
"..\..\..\bin\boost\libs\thread\test\test_thread_lib.test\vc7.1\debug\runtime-link-static\threading-multi\tss_null.obj"
"..\..\..\bin\boost\libs\thread\build\libboost_thread.lib\vc7.1\debug\runtime-link-static\threading-multi\libboost_thread-vc71-mt-sgd-1_32.lib"
"..\..\..\bin\boost\libs\test\build\libboost_unit_test_framework.lib\vc7.1\debug\runtime-link-static\libboost_unit_test_framework.lib" 

While the first three lines refer to 
\runtime-link-static\threading-multi\
the fourth refers only to
\runtime-link-static\

Does this explain where the single threaded CRT gets pulled in?

BTW.: This is the same as in MSVC6 altough the linker does not
complain in that case.
