If I'm correct about that problem, then yes, the "right" fix would be to 
repackage our Boost library tarball, at least for Windows. Had I been writing 
viewer code, I would have tried that.

This particular bit of code was to add tests, and I was trying to get it done 
fairly quickly as my schedule window was closing. I was unaware that this 
problem was biting anyone else; indeed I assumed that if it had, it would 
already have been fixed.

May I recommend filing a Jira explaining the link errors you're encountering, 
along with the Boost mailing-list link and the cited Microsoft page?
