In addition, Boost attempts to build statically linked CRT versions of
some of the libraries (/ML and /MLd flags) - these appear to have been
removed in VS2005 (and the documentation appears to imply that'll be
the case for RTM: "/ML and /MLd compiler options have been removed.
Visual C++ no longer supports single-threaded, statically linked CRT
library support. "). Will these be removed from the VC8 build when the
compiler is released?
