hi all,

we have tried to compile the "Mesh_estimation" example
with the CGAL_USE_BOOST_PROGRAM_OPTIONS option on
windows XP with Visual C++ .NET, and got the message
shown below. All precompiled boost libs are installed.



2>------ Rebuild All started: Project: Mesh_estimation, Configuration: Release 
Win32 ------


2>Mesh_estimation.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "class

Any help would be much appreciate.
