Hi Ovanes,
My project is set to Multi threaded debug dll. (options/c++/code
generations/runtime library in VS2005) 
I used to link against static boost thread libraries until now with the same
setting without any problems. I switched to dynamic thread libraries in
order to solve the hook problem with the _pRawDllMain pointer which was
introduced in 1.37. This hook interferes with MFC.

I don't know why the compiler is looking for a lib... when I #define 
BOOST_THREAD_DYN_LINK ? Is there some other setting in the IDE where I
should be pointing out that I want to link to a dynamic thread library?
