Last I heard, boost lost its Cygwin maintainer; and old libraries aren't
likely to work with a newer compiler. This page
http://cygwin.com/packages/boost-devel/boost-devel-1.43.0-1
confirms that:
"boost-devel: Obsolete package (installed binaries and support files)"
so try building boost yourself.

'.dll.a' is a convention for naming import libraries.

AFAICR that library-name suffix meant multithreaded.
