1730	No debug libs on Windows by default	olafvdspek@…	Dave Abrahams	"Version: 1.35

Hi,

http://boost.org/doc/libs/1_35_0/more/getting_started/windows.html#zip

Build type isn't mentioned in the getting started guide.
Minimal, the default, does not include debug libs. But on Windows, those are required for projects compiled in debug mode (like, eh, all projects sometimes are).
So I think at least this flag should be mentioned in the getting started guide.
Changing the default to include debug libs would he even better.

Greetings

                          built depends on what each library supports.

                              release corresponds to specifying:
