:( That means I can't really look at the stuff myself. However looking
at the original project files for boost it seems those binaries are not
exactly the same as would be built with the boost sources. The MSVC7
build files don't mention any "-s", only "-gd".

In fact on the msvc7 build only builds boost_<foo>.lib, except for
shared debug lib build, there its -vc71-mt-gd-<version>

Anyway, long story short: I'd appreciate patches from anybody who can
actually test on win32 with those binary packages as well as source
builds.
