[boost] Boost.Thread autolink not yet supported?

I was trying to compile the HEAD tag of boost with msvc 6.

I found the library names to having changed to the new canonical names
albeit I expected a prepended "lib".

boost_thread-vc6-mt-1_31
and
boost_thread-vc6-mt-gd-1_31

but the header files do not yet set up the auto-linking.

I also tried to do this from my project headers then, by
defining:

#define BOOST_LIB_NAME boost_thread
#define BOOST_DYNLINK
#include <boost/config/auto_link.hpp>

and it tried to link to

libboost_thread-vc6-mt-sgd-1_31.lib

Is this a known issue?

Thanks
Roland
