[Boost-users] DLL names for special options

I need to build 2 Boost libraries that are compatible with my project's debug build options.

First, what do I name it?  The section on "Library Naming" shows ...-gd... being included in the options, etc.  But, how do I tag the name as having my needed #define options configured?  In particular, 
        _HAS_ITERATOR_DEBUGGING=0;_BIND_TO_CURRENT_VCLIBS_VERSION=1
causes incompatible code in standard includes and links to different runtimes.
I also want to compile to be compatible with a so-called Debug build, but not disable optimizations within Boost code since I don't plan on stepping through it.

On a related question, I don't see any marker in the name for platform, so how are x86 versions distinguished from x64 builds of the same code?

Now, since I'm already trying to get every team and project in this large application suite to use a single "build_conventions" property sheet in Visual Studio to keep such things in one place and indeed matching for everyone, the simplest thing to do, since I only need two boost libraries so treated, is to just make a Visual Studio project with my "sheet" and all the source files, and let'er'rip.

Assuming that's a good idea, I still need to know how to get the "auto link" feature to point to my correct version name.  I see from auto_link.hpp that BOOST_LIB_RT_OPT is where the "gd" part is put in, and that might be where some of these are encoded.  But I don't see anything for separate optimization vs. debug-target, platform type, etc.
If I just throw in a 'z' to mean "my stuff", where is BOOST_LIN_RT_OPT supposed to be set?  What would I change so that team members will automatically link against the custom versions?

Thanks,
