I am afraid I don't remember what this suffix stands for, nor how can
you build it with Boost.Build. However, I recall there's a table somewhere.
Ah, right:

    http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_45_0/more/getting_started/windows.html#library-naming

Note that for that to work, you have to actually specify that you have stlport
to Boost.Build. The following doc should help:

    http://www.boost.org/boost-build2/doc/html/bbv2/overview/configuration.html
    http://www.boost.org/boost-build2/doc/html/bbv2/reference/tools.html#bbv2.reference.tools.libraries.stlport
