5994,MSVC compiler misbehaviour - .lib & .exp files build for .EXE project,piotr.ns2011@…,Chris Newbold,"There is bug in VS 2010 (and older versions) which makes EXE projects to build .LIB and .EXP files
when using DLL runtime and ""new (std::nothrow)"" - as in ""boost\pool"" default_user_allocator_new_delete.

The patch below is a workaround for this problem.
According to this page: http://bit.ly/nCKoel
there are no plans to fix this error on MSVC side.
