This change seems to have broken our VeecoFTC regression tests on the 
trunk (MSVC 9 with STLport 5.2).  I am now getting the following message 
on every test cycle:

error: link=static together with runtime=link is not allowed
error: such property combination is either impossible
error: or too dangerous to be of any use

As far as I am aware, I am not explicitly requesting any 
link/runtime-link configuration on the command line so it appears that 
the default configurations are having issues.  Our command line and 
user-config.jam info is available at:

http://www.boost.org/development/tests/trunk/VeecoFTC.html

Please let me know if there is something that appears to be 
mis-configured or that I need to change.

Thanks,
