[Boost-users] Boost.Python dynamic library requested by auto-linker?

I have built the boost static libraries by calling the following command
line at the boost trunk directory:

*bjam --toolset=msvc link=static debug stage*

This successfully builds all of the libboost_*.lib header files. However,
when I build my application (that uses boost), it spits out the following
linker error:
*LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file
'boost_python-vc90-mt-gd-1_35.lib'*

Note that I do not define BOOST_ALL_DYN_LINK or any other boost-related
preprocessor directive. Any reason why boost is looking for a dynamic
library for Boost.Python instead of the static one?
