[boost] Re: Microsoft Pragma(lib) decls (was RE: Customer FriendlierBoost Installation)

I have found it convenient that Boost uses pragmas to link with its 
libraries, because it would otherwise be a matter of trial and error to 
determine which of the multitude of libraries created by a default bjam 
build is the one I need.  As it is, I only have to search for the ones the 
linker can't find, and add their paths to Visual Studio.  If you want to 
suppress that feature, simply use the /NODEFAULT linker option.
