As others mentioned, you really shouldn't as they are it's not 
guaranteed or tested to be binary compatible, and we specifically 
changed the naming because of that. But you can do it with "bjam 
-sBOOST_VERSION=1.33.0 ...". But that's only for the build and doesn't 
affect the internal CPP version numbers. And if you are on Unix/Linux I 
also don't see the point as one can make symlinks without the version 
number, as the regular build does.
