static library link (unit test) to msvc 2008

Hello ,
I have used bjam (cmd: bjam test) for boost (1.36.0) test library. It
has generated some ".lib" files for static binding to my target
project. Now can someone explain to me (step by step please ) how to
use these ".lib" files in msvc 2008 ? By the way this is the name of
one of them:

libboost_unit_test_framework-vc90-mt-gd-1_36.lib

 ( ok this is a naive question but I could not find how on  boost
documentation either on msdn I just found how to use a ".lib" file in
another project in the same solution but apparently this is not the
case because of pre-built library. )

Thanks afore :) .

Go to Tools->Option->Projects and Solutions->VC++ Directories

Select "Library files" and add the directory containing the lib files.

auto_link will take care of the rest.
