Dave,

Thanks for your reply; the appropriate <library-file> directive solved
my problem here.

BTW, it seems to me that it is much easier to compile my modules with
Boost Python using VC8 instead of VC6 (that gives many "fatal error
C1001: INTERNAL COMPILER ERROR", per example). Is this a fact? Should
I forget using VC 6?
