Do I have to manually copy the DLL from the Boost lib directory to my output 
directory or is there some automagical way this can be found?  I try to 
avoid DLLs like the plague becuase of the hassle of managing the 
dependencies.

Neither was I.  And I can't even find where the project specifies this but 
that's what the linker output warns that it's doing.  It also warns that the 
"image may not run"!  Eeek.

Thanks Gennadiy :)

P.S. I've posted a test program to that thread about ATLTRACE output.  It 
took me a while to see your response because it had dropped so far down my 
newsreader.
