Hi Mark,

The string_algo library is headers only, there's nothing to link 
against. (Most of the libraries are header-only.)

It says so here:
http://www.boost.org/doc/html/string_algo/env.html#id1709621

which isn't right at the top, sadly.

I can't speak to the naming conventions part of the question.
