The 'versioned' here refers to the boost release version (eg 1_35_1) and 
toolset identifier (eg vc80, gcc42) that can be mangled into the 
generated library name (useful on windows I am told).   So that you have
different library variants (single/multi/debug/release) is OK in this 
case.  If you want to build only, say shared singlethreaded debug 
libraries, turn on
BUILD_SHARED and BUILD_DEBUG, turn off BUILD_RELEASE, 
BUILD_MULTITHREADED, BUILD_STATIC, etc.

Thanks for looking at this and getting in touch, the second pair of eyes 
is valuable.
