I also have different libraries bases on compile options 
(multi-threading, static, etc).  This is why I wanted to have boost 
mangle the name but allow me to place my own version number.  If I turn 
mangling off and supply my own version number with the library name, 
there is nothing that distinguishes a library name with given options 
from another library with different options.
