I was wondering why I get duplicates on my Linux box as well. 
The files are with 1_32 and without extension and they are exactly the
same. 
Full debug/release install takes about 0.5G. This is a lot!!

But why duplicates of each? On windows I get

libboost_signals-bcb-1_32.dll and
libboost_signals-bcb.dll

Which are both the same.  Why are there libraries without the version 
number in created?
