That doesn't work in Visual Studio 2010 (instead one gets a message that
that is deprecated - though I don't see a good reason for them to do that),
and I haven't found the alternative.  In Visual Studio 2010, the only method
I have found that works is to set it for each project manually, when I first
create it.  It would be so nice to be able to set it once, so that the
proper settings are already in place for any new project and one can then
just proceed to use the boost libraries and not have to worry about setting
everything for 32 and 64 bit builds.
