In the attached file you will find a proposal for how the problem of static linkage can be solved for Windows. The files can be dircetly inserted into the boost library framework. They almost do not touch existing implementation and also provide for a backup solution (overrideable) in case some unforeseeable things are happening. The solution has been worked out for MS compilers so far. However the principle should be portable to borland compiler as well. I would like to encourage someone with knowledge in this field to attempt this.
