After I build latest Boost 1.33.1 with VC++ 8.0 I noticed strange thing.
I called bjam with --prefix=c:\boost-vc-8_0 so all *.lib files are in
location c:\boost-vc-8_0\lib on my machine.

All files have names with toolset name part indicating like they
were built with VC++ 7.1 - toolset vc-7_1.
Example:

libboost_date_time-vc71-mt-1_33_1.lib
libboost_date_time-vc71-mt-gd-1_33_1.lib
libboost_date_time-vc71-mt-gd.lib
libboost_date_time-vc71-mt-s-1_33_1.lib
libboost_date_time-vc71-mt-s.lib
libboost_date_time-vc71-mt-sgd-1_33_1.lib
libboost_date_time-vc71-mt-sgd.lib
libboost_date_time-vc71-mt.lib
libboost_date_time-vc71-s-1_33_1.lib
libboost_date_time-vc71-s.lib
libboost_date_time-vc71-sgd-1_33_1.lib
libboost_date_time-vc71-sgd.lib

Shouldn't there be vc80 toolset name like
libboost_date_time-vc80-mt-1_33_1.lib ?

Is this correct?
