I opened a 32 bit Visual Studio 2008 command prompt to the location of
the boost-1.45.0 source then ran the bootstrap batch file to create
bjam. After this I executed the following command to build boost.

bjam --build-dir="X:\32Bit\VC.90\Libraries\boost-1.45.0" toolset=msvc
--build-type=complete stage

it appears that boost built successfully however it named them vc100
instead of vc90. I do not have Visual Studio 2010 installed on my
machine. I never had it installed. Anyways to use these in the
framework that I will be using them in I need the names to be correct.
Is there any way to force bjam to use the correct visual studio
version when it names the libraries?

Thanks in Advance,
