I don't know how to resolve a PR for uuid ( 
https://github.com/boostorg/uuid/pull/11 ). If a library exists only as 
a DLL and not as a static library should BOOST_ALL_NO_LIB still be 
considered in effect ?

My viewpoint is 'no' but the person who created the PR believes that the 
BOOST_ALL_NO_LIB config macro should turn off any #pragma auto-linking 
in code even when their is no other way to use a library other than as a 
shared library.

What I am afraid of is breaking user code even if BOOST_ALL_NO_LIB is 
defined by producing link errors. But perhaps I am wrong and this should 
be considered justified when BOOST_ALL_NO_LIB is being used.
