I've just checkouted and built Boost from CVS (1.34) and libraries
names are as I expected - with vc80 toolset name but not vc71:

libboost_date_time-vc80-mt-1_34.lib
libboost_date_time-vc80-mt-gd-1_34.lib
libboost_date_time-vc80-mt-gd.lib
libboost_date_time-vc80-mt-s-1_34.lib
libboost_date_time-vc80-mt-s.lib
libboost_date_time-vc80-mt-sgd-1_34.lib
libboost_date_time-vc80-mt-sgd.lib
libboost_date_time-vc80-mt.lib

Hmm, I'm not sure but may be build system from Boost 1.33.1 does
not work well with VC++ 8.0.
