Hi,

Don't know if It's suppose to be normal but it looks that the newly 
added boost atomic requires linking against a static lib
by default.
This seems wrong as this an header only package.

Please note that I'm using a fresh 1.53 beta 1 with no define like 
BOOST_ATOMIC_DYN_LINK or BOOST_ALL_DYN_LINK

BOOST_DYN_LINK is greyed out when I open the header in the editor so it 
doesn't look like to be defined.

(Visual c++ 2005 SP1)

Am I missing something here ?

Thanks !
