Unless you disable Boost auto-linking, i'm afraid it's the only option.
Boost autolinking is enabled by default for Visual Studio. In this case,
Boost headers have pragmas to link to Boost libs.

#pragma comment (lib, "libboost_xxxx.lib")

If you don't add  Boost_LIBRARY_DIRS  to the link directories, it won't
work.
