Comment (by noloader@…):

 {{{
 //
 // auto_link.hpp
 // select linkage opt:
 //
 #if (defined(_DLL) || defined(_RTLDLL)) && defined(BOOST_DYN_LINK)
 #  define BOOST_LIB_PREFIX
 #elif defined(BOOST_DYN_LINK)
 #  error "Mixing a dll boost library with a static runtime is a really bad
 idea..."
 #else
 #  define BOOST_LIB_PREFIX "lib"
 #endif
 }}}

 The above appears broken. I just verified {{{_DLL}}} is *not* defined.
 Additionally, I did *not* define {{{BOOST_DYN_LINK}}}. I don't know about
 {{{_RTLDLL}}}, but I did not define it either.

 Finally, there does not appear to be a {{{BOOST_STATIC_LINK}}} that I can
 define.
