Larry and Greg,
Thank you for your responses, I overlooked these libraries, mostly
because I have not been using them. Your guidance was
very educational!

Can you point out to me where you see any Boost DLLs? I only see *.hpp
template files.
The boost filesystem library is an example; my installation has,
in /lib/ :
$ls libboost_file*
libboost_filesystem-gcc-mt-1_33_1.a
libboost_filesystem-gcc-mt-s-1_33_1.a
libboost_filesystem-gcc-mt-s.a
libboost_filesystem-gcc-mt.a
which IIRC were all gotten via 'setup.exe'.
I gather from a glance at the boost links above that these might be
buildable as dlls instead of as static libraries, but I think what's
relevant to your question is that this library has '.cpp' files that
must be compiled separately. I believe Václav was referring to boost's
sui generis build system, which I always found a bit odd; if you want
to avoid it, this might be worth a look:
