I vaguely remember about problems wrapping native DLLs when the wrapped DLL has dependencies on other DLLs.
Boost libraries that are not header-only (like, IIRC, Boost.Thread) use the autolinking pragma "#pragma comment(lib, xxxx)" in their headers to automatically have the linker link their DLLs to client programs #include-ing their headers.

(I missed the beginning of this discussion, so sorry if I'm off-topic or if I repeat already rejected hypotheses.)
