Platform conditional

Hello everybody!

Is it possible to set a conditional that chooses different libraries
on different platforms? Something like this:

lib 
mylib1 
: 
src.cpp src.h
: 
<platform>windows:<library>/my_deps//windows_deps
<platform>linux:<library>/my_deps//linux_deps
: :
<include>.
;

Another question: what's the right way to add library versioning, so
that library get a mylib.1.3.so name on build, but can be reffered
just as mylib from exe targets that link to it? Should I use aliases?

Why don't boost-build add a "lib" prefix to libraries on unix? For
example: target mylib becomes libmylib.so

Thank you,
