[Boost-build] Library Naming

I've noticed that at least boost.graph graphviz reader/writer library 
has been renamed.  I assume this is because of a boost universe library 
name renaming is desired for consistency.

I've got one gripe and one question:

Some files are name as:
   stage/lib/libboost_graph-gcc40-mt-d-1_35.so.1.35.0
In this case there is redundant information.  The boost version is both 
in the base name and in the so name.  Can't version info be restricted 
to just static library names?

Is there a set of variables that will allow an application level Jamfile 
to just express the base name of a library?  In the above case, 
boost_graph boost-graph$(compiler-version)$(multiple threaded)$(debug)?
