We could, but it is something that is *supposed* to apply to all 
toolsets. That is... right now only the intel-win32-7.1-vc6-* toolsets 
show the problem because they are the only ones that have a version 
number. If there was some other auto-link supporting toolset with a 
version it would also break.

It's really not a toolset related choice but a library choice. If one 
makes use of a library that supports auto-link by default. One has to 
turn auto-link off if you refer to it directly (<lib>whatever, or 
<dll>whatever).
