Why?  If you're using autolinking (which you should be using on Windows) 
then the name of the libraries is completely unimportant, since you 
don't have to put it into any scripts or project properties.

(And it's in your best interest to include Boost and compiler versions 
in those names, to prevent accidentally getting the wrong one. 
Mismatches can go quite wrong, sometimes in very subtle and hard to 
trace ways.)
