- add -s flag as we also use a static build in makefile.mingw
As we now use Boost 1.49 on Windows I think this should be updated as well.

It seems like that wasnt being used previously?
@TheBlueMatt: It IS used, when compiling Bitcoin-Qt on Windows directly via the project file. Even if this was not used by us, it is beneficial to users trying to build from source as a clear indication for static Boost 1.49 libs. I myself rely this btw. ;).
ah, sorry, cross compiling sets it manually.
Can we do anything about the boost patch we require?

What is the -s?
The Boost libs built with link=static runtime-link=static specified.
OK
