Please read
http://www.boost.org/libs/python/doc/building.html#variants
and also the admonition at
http://www.boost.org/libs/python/doc/tutorial/doc/html/python/hello.html

Since ActiveState will be making the Python debug DLL readily
available in the future, Boost.Python will no longer have this build
oddity in its next release; we'll just have a release and a debug
version.
