Is that correct, or is "D:/Program Files/STLport-5.1.5 D:/Program 
Files/STLport-5.1.5/lib" being interpretted as a *single* path with spaces 
in it?  I don't think you need the D:/Program Files/STLport-5.1.5/lib part 
in there - but I could be wrong!

If all else fails try building program_options from your IDE as a static 
library project using the same build options as your .exe: then you just 
have to define BOOST_ALL_NO_LIB in your application project to disable 
auto-linking, and set the static lib project as a dependency of the .exe.
