With msvc there's the auto-linking feature which decides from the code 
which .lib must be looked for (see Auto-Linking in 
www.boost.org/more/getting_started/windows.html#auto-linking ).
I just realized that adding <define>BOOST_ALL_NO_LIB to deactivate it 
actually also fixes the issue.
I was pretty sure I had tried it... Anyway I think I'll use that instead.
