There is one exception: if you're using VC++ or some other compiler that 
ships with multiple runtimes, then you *must* link against a Boost lib 
that's built against the same runtime as your application is using (probably 
a debug runtime during development).  Of course on Linux (and probably most 
Unix variants) this is a non-issue.
