Autolinking - yes, I suppose something like thig but I was not able to 
explain it for myself.
I have read docs on the website and they seem out of date.
So, now I'm going to read the updated version from CVS.

I'll check it today.

Yes, but first I tried to run example 02 and 03 not under debugger, just 
executing exe files. When I started to get memory leaks dump then I 
decided to debug it - as I read in list archives this recommendation.

Thank you very much.
Siply, the problem is that UTF library build by bjam behaves differently 
from the one build with VC++ project file.

I'll also test it without autolinking.

Now I know that ;-)
