[Boost-build] stlport.jam forces _STLPORT_USE_DYN_LIB on?

Folks,

I've had a couple of complaints now from people using Boost.Regex with 
STLport to the effect that they can't link against the regex lib's produced 
by bjam because these always reference the STLport dll's and not the static 
libraries.  Looking in stlport.jam I see:

        if [ $(rproperties).get <runtime-debugging> ] = "on"
        {
            usage-requirements +=
                <define>_STLP_USE_DYNAMIC_LIB=1 ;
        }

So it looks like whenever a debug build is built the STLport dll version is 
linked against regardless of the users intent?  What was the rationale here?

Thanks, John.
