Look for BOOST_VERSION_MINOR.  

That's what I did when I first saw it, seems it works.

This the complete info I observed:
For all the versions of boost.test static lib(starting with
'libboost_'), it appends an additional '-s' to the file name, even if
there's alread    one in the middle. It does not happen to shared libs
and the corresponding symbol imports(dlls or lib files starting with
'boost_'). 

Below are the wrong file names generated on my PC(WinXP SP3,  VC9 SP1) :

libboost_prg_exec_monitor-vc90-mt-1_39-s.lib
libboost_prg_exec_monitor-vc90-mt-gd-1_39-s.lib
libboost_prg_exec_monitor-vc90-mt-s-1_39-s.lib
libboost_prg_exec_monitor-vc90-mt-sgd-1_39-s.lib
libboost_unit_test_framework-vc90-mt-1_39-s.lib
libboost_unit_test_framework-vc90-mt-gd-1_39-s.lib
libboost_unit_test_framework-vc90-mt-s-1_39-s.lib
libboost_unit_test_framework-vc90-mt-sgd-1_39-s.lib

Removing the trailing '-s' would work fine.
