Re: [boost] Why do we build debug variants of our compiled libraries?

Anyway, my recommendation is that we stop building debug variants of compiled libraries by default. It's easy for the user to build them if they are really required.

There is one exception: if you're using VC++ or some other compiler that ships with multiple runtimes, then you *must* link against a Boost lib that's built against the same runtime as your application is using (probably a debug runtime during development). Of course on Linux (and probably most Unix variants) this is a non-issue. John.
