I noticed this at the end of python/detail/config.hpp:

//  enable automatic library variant selection 
------------------------------//

#if !defined(BOOST_PYTHON_SOURCE) && !defined(BOOST_ALL_NO_LIB) && 
!defined(BOOST_PYTHON_NO_LIB)
//
// Set the name of our library, this will get undef'ed by auto_link.hpp
// once it's done with it:
//
#define BOOST_LIB_NAME boost_python
//
// If we're importing code from a dll, then tell auto_link.hpp about it:
//
#ifdef BOOST_PYTHON_DYNAMIC_LIB
#  define BOOST_DYN_LINK
#endif
//
// And include the header that does the work:
//
#include <boost/config/auto_link.hpp>
#endif  // auto-linking disabled
