I just built and installed 1.42 on a Linux system and ended up with  
filenames like libboost_thread.so. When I run bjam to build and test a  
project of mine I get a linker error because the command line option is  
set to -lboost_thread-gcc42-mt-d-1_42. If I run g++ with -lboost_thread I  
can link everything. But why is the wrong filename passed by bjam? I made  
sure to update boost-build.jam which refers to bootstrap.jam in  
boost_1_42_0/tools/build/v2. Do I need to update my Jamfiles? I guess I  
can rebuild the Boost libraries with --layout=tagged but I still wonder  
what's wrong here?
