[C++-sig] Building Boost.Python against a debug build of Python

[Adam Preble]

I previously posted about runtime oddness when switching to a debug build
of python.  I figured I needed to rebuild Boost.Python.  The build process
is fixated on using the normal python.exe and python.lib paths, rather than
python_d.exe and python_d.lib.  I have put those files in my Python26
directory, and then tried to get fancy by renaming them to their release
names instead.  It gets mad at me . . .

 Creating library
bin.v2\libs\python\build\msvc-10.0\release\address-model-32\architecture-x86\debug-store-database\debug-symbols-on\python-debugging-on\threading-multi\boost_python-vc100-mt-y-1_47.lib
and object
bin.v2\libs\python\build\msvc-10.0\release\address-model-32\architecture-x86\debug-store-database\debug-symbols-on\python-debugging-on\threading-multi\boost_python-vc100-mt-y-1_47.exp
module.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol
__imp__Py_InitModule4 referenced in function "struct _object * __cdecl
boost::python::detail::init_module(char const *,void (__cdecl*)(void))"
(?init_module at detail@python at boost@@YAPAU_object@@PBDP6AXXZ at Z)
bin.v2\libs\python\build\msvc-10.0\release\address-model-32\architecture-x86\debug-store-database\debug-symbols-on\python-debugging-on\threading-multi\boost_python-vc100-mt-y-1_47.dll
: fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals

I'm thinking that isn't what I'm supposed to do anyways.  Is there
something I need to do in my build string?  This is how I would do a full
build.  Note all the baggage I added for building Python:

[FWIW I'm building Boost 1.47 with VS2010's toolchain]
