The boost*.lib files, as I think someone said earlier, are the import
libraries for the boost*.dll run-time libraries. These are what you
link to, in order to use boost*.dll at run time. The DLL files do not
need to be in the link path, only in the executable path when your
program is run. The boost*.lib files need to be in the link path when
you build your program.
