[Boost-build] shared library naming on windows

I am building a shared library on windows, which is build correctly
with .dll extension, but when linking into a exe application the
linker looks for .lib extension and fails. The library is included
into the exe build as :

somelib/<link>shared

and no other link options is used on command line. The library
"somelib" is including several boost libraries which is linked
statically, can this be the problem ?

I am using intel for compile and linking with msvc8.

Any help is appreciated.
