The majority of boost libraries are header-only libraries, i.e., they
have no compiled code. I believe QuantLib only uses this subset, so in
fact it shouldn't matter which variant of Boost you install since the
compiled parts will not be used.

In general I would suggest installing at least the single-threaded
release-mode DLL. On unix you can install multiple variants which is
the best solution, but I'm not sure if that is easy to achieve on
Windows.

Best,
Bojan
