+# Target naming is determined by types/lib.jam and the settings below this
+# comment.
+#
+# On *nix:
+#     libxxx.a     static library
+#     libxxx.so    shared library
+#
+# On windows (mingw):
+#     libxxx.lib   static library
+#     xxx.dll      DLL
+#     xxx.lib      import library
+#
+# On windows (cygwin) i.e. <target-os>cygwin
+#     libxxx.a     static library
+#     xxx.dll      DLL
+#     libxxx.dll.a import library
+# 
+# Note: user can always override by using the <tag>@rule
+#       This settings have been choosen, so that mingw
+#       is in line with msvc naming conventions. For
+#       cygwin the cygwin naming convention has been choosen.
