Include static multithreaded libraries in release mode, using static runtime by default

Description

Could you include static multithreaded libraries in release mode, using static runtime by default? I think it's an often used variant when one doesn't want to bother with redistributing / installing the VC runtime.

Could you also recommend -j X?

The default build matches the default settings of the IDE. Either use --build-type=complete or explicitly specify the build settings that you want. Trying to guess which settings are "common" is a hopeless cause, IMHO.

IDE? What IDE? I don't use an IDE to build Boost.
