OK, I learned about auto_link and the #pragma's in the headers that
automagically locate the correct .lib, but they aren't working. The
linker now complains about not being able to find
libboost_program_options-vc90-mt-s-1_40.lib, whereas I have only
*-vc100-* - strange, since I built boost from the exact same (Visual C
9.0) terminal window right before trying to build my app. The specific
error is:

LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file
'libboost_program_options-vc90-mt-s-1_40.lib'

Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
