Unfortunately, this whole roadtrip started with the need for STL collections 
to cross DLL boundaries, which is why I am using STLPort.  The STL that 
comes with VC++ 7.1 doesn't (with the exception of string and vector).  When 
I built boost, I built it with the vc7.1-stlport toolset,  and I have the 
stlport library directory in my "additional library path".  Along this line, 
I wonder if I need to be doing something special with the STLPort DLL?
