The most straightforward solution would be to require the user to define Boost_USE_STATIC_RUNTIME or something like that to get the "-s", but this would also change behaviour on WIN32.

Depending on the project we're using them for sometimes we need shared libraries and sometimes static. -- Philip Lowman
