Some Boost libraries have a compiled component, while some are
header-only. The ones that are of the former kind you need to link
against.

When you use Boost under Visual C++, it has an "auto-link" feature, in
which it uses compiler pragmas to automatically link against the
compiled library files that a Boost library might need.

Under GCC and other toolchains, there's no such thing and it's up to you
to link against the libraries needed.
