To my knowledge there is no auto-linking involved when using Boost Build 
on Windows. My user-config.jam only has "using msvc : 9.0" and "using 
python : 2.6".
In order to make sure that our sandbox environment does not interact 
with the compilation of the above hello_adjacency_list.cpp I rebuilt the 
program within a separate mini-project consisting of the cpp and the 
Jamroot listed below. With identical results.

Jamroot
-------
path-constant BOOST_ROOT : ../trunk/external_packages/boost_1_44_0 ;

project hello_adjacency_list
  : default-build <address-model>64
  : requirements <include>$(BOOST_ROOT)
;

use-project boost : $(BOOST_ROOT) ;

#exe hello_adjacency_list : hello_adjacency_list.cpp ;
# --> Compilation fails with
# LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 
'libboost_serialization-vc90-mt-1_44.lib'

exe hello_adjacency_list
   : hello_adjacency_list.cpp /boost//serialization
   : <link>shared:<define>BOOST_SERIALIZATION_DYN_LINK ;
# --> Compiles successfully.
