In the 1.54.0 release, I noticed that the size of the binaries built with
visual studio was more than twice that of the previous releases. For
example the msvc-8.0-64 build went from 2GB to 5GB. Upon further
investigation, almost all of that increase was in the libboost_log_setup*
binaries, which were each in the 100s of MBs.

Does anyone know if there is a reason for this? Is it a configuration error?
