I guess I was hoping for a lib naming convention something like:
"libboost_regex_%tool%_%config%.lib"

The difficulty of course is keeping the names from getting too long.

Some kind of minimal install facility would be useful as well - one issue I
have with the current directory structure is that the libs end up scattered
over lots of different directories, working out what -L option to use is
overly complex at present, unless you copy the files to a central
directory; except you can't do that 'cos they all have the same name :-(
