Yes. But the versioned one still creates unversioned "links" to the 
versioned libraries.

The differences between versioned and system layouts are more apparent 
when compiling on Unix like systems. In those the internal name of the 
libraries changes and instead of copies symlinks are created. If Windows 
supported DLL internal names and symlinks (easily) it would use that 
instead of making copies.

There are, just not documented. The toolsets others created for vc-8_0 
are: vc-8_0-amd64, vc-8_0, and vc-8_0-x86_amd64. Not sure what the 
differences are between the two amd64 versions though :-\
