stupid question

Hi,

Just wondering the difference between library builded with Jam and 
library builded with specifics target compiler's makefiles. 

For sample I think about the regex lib under VC6 which gives 
with nmake -f vc6.mak :

        boost_regex_vc6_mss.lib 
        boost_regex_vc6_sssd.lib
        boost_regex_vc6_sssd.pdb
        boost_regex_vc6_mssd.lib
        boost_regex_vc6_mssd.pdb
        boost_regex_vc6_mdid.lib
        boost_regex_vc6_mdid.dll
        boost_regex_vc6_mdid.pdb
        boost_regex_vc6_mdi.lib
        boost_regex_vc6_mdi.dll
        boost_regex_vc6_mds.lib
        boost_regex_vc6_mdsd.lib
        boost_regex_vc6_mdsd.pdb

and Jam that will give us :

        boost_regex.dll
        boost_regex.lib
        boost_regex_debug.dll
        boost_regex_debug.lib

This is because the boost config/*.hpp file does not let me the 
choice. only the makefiles library seems to work.

Thanks in advance.
