Re: [Boost-users] s_directory(path) returns false in windows , path do exist

Boost.Config automatically chooses the proper library for me (arent they
great?)

With boost in msvc, you never need to specify which boost library to
link with. 

Microsoft has issues with a lot of incompatible ABIs, so they added a
pragma that allows header files to specify which library to link with
from within the code. Boost uses this to make the lives of us
unfortunate windows programmers a little easier ;)
