Milestone:  Boost 1.44.0       |   Component:  serialization
  Version:  Boost 1.44.0       |    Severity:  Showstopper

-------------------------------+--------------------------------------------
 I downloaded Boost 1.43.0 (the whole Zip file).  I haven't been able
 to use the Serialization component from a Microsoft Visual Studio 2008
 project, only from VS 2003 projects.  Linkage initially failed because
 it looked for a nonexistent *vc90*.lib file.  After some research into
 auto_link.hpp, I tried to make the linker use an existing lib file,
 e.g. libboost_serialization-vc71-mt-sgd-1_43.lib, by adding
 #define BOOST_LIB_TOOLSET "vc71"
 and
 #undef _DLL
 before #including the Boost header file.  But this led to unresolved
 symbols, e.g. the basic_binary_oprimitive constructor.
 So, to summarize my question: How do I use Serialization from VS 2008?
