[boost] boost 1.33.1 and MSVC.NET 2005

Hello, all ...

I'm aware that Boost 1.33.1 and MSVC.NET 2005 have some issues  
working together, and though i've built a version of our app that  
uses the latest Boost stuff from CVS (which gets along much better  
with MSVC.NET 2005), I also need to build a version that uses  
1.33.1.  Since 1.33.1 gets along well with the MSVC.NET 2003  
compiler, we built the boost binaries with that compiler.

The problem i'm having right now -- which may be more of a VC problem  
than a Boost one -- is that i'm trying to use those binaries with  
MSVC.NET 2005.  The 2005 linker is looking for 'liboost_filesystem- 
vc80-mt-sgd-1_33_1.lib', but since this Boost library was built with  
MSVC.NET 2003, it's called 'liboost_filesystem-vc80-mt- 
sgd-1_33_1.lib'.  These names are never directly referenced in my  
project e.g. 2005's linker seems to somehow divine the name of the  
static Boost library it's to link to ... but I don't know how this is  
done, or how to change it to look for the 7.1 version.

Any ideas?

Regards,

John
