stlport.jam forces _STLPORT_USE_DYN_LIB on?

Folks,

I've had a couple of complaints now from people using
Boost.Regex with 
STLport to the effect that they can't link against the regex
lib's produced 
by bjam because these always reference the STLport dll's and
not the static 
libraries.  Looking in stlport.jam I see:

        if [ $(rproperties).get <runtime-debugging> ]
= "on"
        {
            usage-requirements +=
                <define>_STLP_USE_DYNAMIC_LIB=1 ;
        }

So it looks like whenever a debug build is built the STLport
dll version is 
linked against regardless of the users intent?  What was the
rationale here?

Thanks, John.

I think this is covered in issue #1177 -- the above code is
wrong,
and the issue has a fix. It's on my todo for this week to
apply that patch.

Related to this item, my patch has actually evolved a little
bit from 
what I originally posted.  Some changes to builtin.jam a few
weeks ago 
required further mods to stlport.jam.  Please use the
attached patch in 
place of my previous one.

Thanks,
-Dave
