If I do
message( "Libraries: " $$LIBS)

it prints out
Project MESSAGE: Libraries:  
-LC:\Users\Matthias\Documents\SVN\Library\lib\msvc-2005\boost\regex\release 
-llibboost_regex-vc80-mt-1_41


The problem seams to be related to debug_and_release config. If I set it 
too release only, then the error changes to another  link error:
        link /NOLOGO /INCREMENTAL:NO /VERSION:3.01 
/OUT:..\..\lib\source-highlig
ht.lib @C:\Users\Matthias\AppData\Local\Temp\nm34FA.tmp
LINK : fatal error LNK1561: entry point must be defined

But that maybe related to the fact that the library under msvc is 
missing the necessary dllimport /export definitions.
So I have to check that if it builds in static.

Nevertheless, it should work with debug_and_release, or at least I would 
like to know why it does not.

And yes,  msvc does understand that link format, at least in all other 
librarys that I use it works.
