    I don't use V1 since I got v2 :) I just proposed to use "_" to replace dots in version. Maybe we should leave dot, maybe not... I just don't like "64" or "71" or "33". sys-bcb6.4-mt-d.lib or sys-bcb6_4-mt-d.lib looks better then sys-bcb64-mt-d.lib, IMHO. I can write tagging rule for my own use, but boost libs will be named differently. And when someone ship out compiler with two digits in version numbers we will get something like "110". 10.1 or 1.01? No more information only code.

 With best regards, Konstantin Litvinenko.
