Hi,

Thanks for your quick reply, as always. 

Below the Jamfile for my executable and the ouput of bjam -d2. On Linux it statically links as I expect. On Cygwin/Windows/msvc it holds it dependencies on the boost libs. But I am not sure what to expect, since I am not so proficient on Windows.

Thank you,
Andrej
