#2493: Default compilation directions do work for boost.python tutorials

     Type:  Bugs                     |      Status:  new    
Milestone:  Boost 1.38.0             |   Component:  Python 
  Version:  Boost Release Branch     |    Severity:  Problem
 Keywords:                           |  
-------------------------------------+--------------------------------------
 The documentation for  boost.python directs that typing "bjam" will
 compile the tutorial.

 However on windows box with msvc, bjam fails, with following error, at the
 linking phase beacuse it cannot find the python library.
 fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'boost_python-vc80-mt-gd-1_37.lib'

 However this problem disappears when compiled with "bjam link=static
 threading = multi" option.
