Note how in both these cases autolink exposes a problem with BOOST_ALL_DYN_LINK not being defined, even though the user is trying to use a Boost .dll. Had BOOST_ALL_DYN_LINK been defined correctly, autolink would have caused no issues (because it would have linked to the same library the build system did.) (Forgetting to define BOOST_ALL_DYN_LINK correctly works... some of the time. When it doesn't, it's pretty hard to figure out what's wrong.)
