I'm responding to this topic to ask about how to make the LIB files not prefix with "lib". For example, right now I'm running the following command:

bjam --toolset=msvc --build-type=complete --layout=system debug stage

An example of how a library is output is:

libboost_filesystem-mt-gd.lib

I would like the libs to look like:

boost_filesystem-mt-gd.lib

Any idea how I can do this? Also, I need to figure out how to make the boost build process dynamically link against the standard C++ libraries, as right now it is statically linking against them.
