[Boost-build] library output without comiler name

Hi,

I am writing a small script that automates the compilation of the boost 
libraries. The library will be used by people without root access and 
therefore can not be installed using e.g apt-get or system wide.

The script currently looks as follows:

cd boost_1_35_0
mkdir build
./configure --prefix=$PWD/build --with-libraries=thread
make
make install
cp ./libboost_thread-gcc*-mt.so ./libboost_thread.so

The last copy line is very annoying and does not work in case gcc is not 
used. There is an option for bjam that directly outputs libraries in the 
form libboost_thread.so. Is it possible to use this by calling 
./configure with additional parameters instead of using bjam directly?

Thank you,
Chris
