Comment (by olenz_at_[hidden]):

 An additional comment: after some research, I found out that the way to
 build static libraries (on Unix, if you do not have bjam installed) is

 make BJAM_CONFIG='link=static' install

 which should probably go into the "Getting started" documentation, if you
 do not want to include an extensive paragraph about dynamic libraries and
 LD_LIBRARY_PATH...
