The variants you have so far are:
- Architecture
- Release or Debug

I've known library vendors to even have the following variants:
- Architecture
- Release or Debug
- C++ standard version
- Static or dynamic linking with the C++ runtime library
- Single or multi threaded versions of the C++ runtime library (at one
point in time)

Shipping library sources to your users (instead of binaries) might be easier.
