Comment (by Vladimir Prus):

 boost_program_options.dll is expected to have these symbols at all times,
 however the linker is not using .dll, it's using import library, usually
 boost_program_options.lib. When building without
 -DBOOST_PROGRAM_OPTIONS_DYN_LINK=1, the import library does not mention
 these symbols, and the linker cannot find them.

 There could be other issues, maybe specific to VC 2017, but the first
 thing we need to determine if `-DBOOST_PROGRAM_OPTIONS_DYN_LINK=1` is
 used. If not, nothing is gonna work.
