Comment(by dave):

 I have some questions; please excuse my ignorance.

  * What does "direct linking" mean, precisely?

  * Will "direct linking" against libpython.so force libpython.so to be
 loaded when the Python executable loads an extension module that uses
 libboost_python.so?

  * What does the windows platform have to do with this?
