[Boost-users] Implications of using Boost with different versions of Visual Studio in the same computer?

I have installed MSVS-2005 and MSVS-2010 in my development PC. I noticed 
that contrary to other libraries, every boost installation seems to be 
specific for:

  - The Boost version (duh!)

  - The MSVC Version

For instance: libboost_system-vc80-mt-1_43.lib

I would prefer to have all the -vc80- and -vc100- library files in the 
same folder, but perhaps I am looking for trouble? Then there is the 
issue of the includes.

If such strategy turns out to be ill-advised, I would like to somehow 
"hide" my MSVS-2010 (don't want to uninstall it!) and then install 
Boost, built bye the VS-2005 toolchain.

Thanks for your kind assistance.

ps: Boost rules!!  :-)
