#2899: Make windows variants compatible with autolink

     Type:  Bugs           |      Status:  new        
Milestone:  Boost 1.39.0   |   Component:  None       
  Version:  Boost 1.38.0   |    Severity:  Problem    
 Keywords:                 |  
---------------------------+------------------------------------------------
 On Windows, Boost.Build builds release shared variant by default. It
 appears that VC defaults to debug build, so autolink tries to pick mt-gd-
 binary, which is not found.

 What is the best solution here? I am open to any solutions that seems
 suitable for Windows, and cannot express any position.

 John, do you have a comment?
