Thanks Hernán.  That'll definitely be useful to me, before too long.  
However, I'd completely forgotten about the little "trick" to stop boost 
from automatically attempting to link to its own binaries.  If I #define 
BOOST_THREAD_NO_LIB, that successfully prevents my project from linking 
unnecessarily to libboost_thread. The other libraries (boost_regex etc) 
can be similarly accommodated.  In this case, the 3rd party library 
didn't need to link to libboost_thread.  It was only doing so because 
I'd forgotten that #define.

Thanks for that link.  It looks pretty informative.
