I find it odd then, that I could still run my program with no dlls.  I had
moved them all to the recycle bin.  All this stuff isn't worth it. I will
just stick w/ the static link libs.

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.
