A bit OT (ok a lot), but look at
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/vclang/html/_PREDIR_comment.asp

you add something like

   #pragma comment( lib, "my_lil_ol_do_dad" )

to a header and bob's your aunty.

Add a pinch of macro #ifdef magic for determining which lib for which
configuration, brew for a bit and you're done.
