[boost] simplifying library install names

When I build boost-1.31.0, like so:

bjam -sPYTHON_ROOT=/usr -sPYTHON_VERSION=2.2 -sTOOLS=gcc -sBUILD=release --prefix=/usr

I end up with a bunch of oddly-named library files:

libboost_filesystem-gcc-1_31.a
libboost_filesystem-gcc-1_31.so.1.31.0*
libboost_filesystem-gcc.a
libboost_filesystem-gcc.so*

is there a way to run bjam or configure the build process so I get something sensible, like:

libboost_filesystem.a
libboost_filesystem.so.1.31.0
libboost_filesystem.so (symlink)

?

best,
benjamin
