I had a similar issue and hence decided to disable to auto linking
feature in boost on Windows. It use the "#pragma" to tell the linker
to link with the appropriate library when you include headers that
require libraries. If it is not too much of an inconvenience, you
might want to take this route.

To do so:
Just define BOOST_ALL_NO_LIB at workspace/solution level and add the
required libraries in the respective project settings.
