[Boost-users] boost_1_31_0 VC7.1 Lib names incompatible with VS IDE???

Sorry if I'm missing something here but when I build boost with:

    bjam "-sTOOLS=VC7.1" "-sVC71_ROOT=C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual
Studio .NET 2003\Vc7"

I get libs and dll's generated with names like:

    libboost_signals-VC7.1-mt-gd-1_31.lib

Entering the above into the VS-IDE Project-Properties Dialong - Linker-Input
Additional-Dependencies Field and trying to Link yields:

    Linking...
    LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file
'libboost_signals-vc71-mt-gd-1_31.lib'

Removing the '.' from VC7.1 in the IDE and renaming the file in like fashion
allows the Link to succeed.

Is there a way to generate the names in the first place without the
offending '.'. Should the '7.1' be generated at all? The Toolset
Abbreviation Table in getting_started.html list "vc" for both VC7 and VC7.1.

Thanks,

Jeff
