Ok, so you should _only_ get an extra .lib when actually _using_ 
STLport.
That means bjam stdlib=stlport should add an extra .lib file whereas 
bjam stdlib=native should not. 
I think this is a bug / feature of STLport. I'm no Win32 expert 
(developing on Linux) but I think this is because STLport exports  
symbols which __declspec export () when used (in combination with Qt ?)
msvc-7.1 Dinkumware doesn't do this.
We've switched from STLport to Dinkumware for release on Win32 so this 
behaviour doesn't bother me anymore. 
It is no bjam bug, the same happens when using Qt's qmake generated 
Makefiles.
So I think this is getting off topic for this list. But could be 
interesting for the FAQ.

Yeah, that is much _better_. ;-))
