boost::wave list_includes sample will not link with cpplexer

[Joe Kerian <jkerian+boost@…>]

After working around a jamfile problem where none of the wave samples will build(ticket will be posted shortly after this), list_includes (among others) still refuses to link.

This is with VS10 on WindowsXP, Boost 1.48.0 having been built succesfully with --build-type=complete, but not installed.

I apologize for the nasty formatting, but the Command Prompt just isn't very helpful.
