Boost -gd lib file

boost, c++

Solution

`-gd` is for debug version of libs. Use `-gd-mt` for building in debug configuration and `-mt` for release configurations.

Problem

After building the boost library (so I could use the filesystem namespace) I found in the `stage/lib` folder the following files with filesystem in the name: ``` libboost_filesystem-vc100-mt-1_51 (838 kb) libboost_filesystem-vc100-gd-mt-1_51 (4210 kb) ``` Notice the -gd in the second one. I also put in the size in parenthesis. So, what's the difference? Which one do I use?
