[Boost-users] Installed library names

Hi, I'm working with a project whose build system passes 
-lboost_serialization as a flag to gcc.  As far as I can tell from the 
configure options and from the Getting Started documentation, boost's 
installer only ever uses fully qualified names 
(libboost_serialization-gcc41-mt-1_35.so.1.35.0 on my system).  Could 
the installer have possibly provided a libboost_serialization.so as 
well?  Or did the authors of the project I'm trying to build probably 
manually create symlinks (or have their package manager create these) 
and assume that I would have the same?  Thanks!
