[Boost-users] Boost library name formats

Hello,

For several years now we've built Boost libraries on Windows with a 
minimal set of tags in the library and dll names.  Our dlls and libs 
have looked like this:

boost_atomic-mt-gd.dll
boost_atomic-mt-gd.lib

etc.

We just upgraded from 1.65.1 to 1.69 and the same bjam command (with a 
new bootstrapped bjam) is now giving us an extra x64 tag:

boost_atomic-mt-gd-x64.dll
boost_atomic-mt-gd-x64.lib

This is on VS2017 15.9.9.

The bjam command we've used for years is:

bjam.exe --toolset=msvc address-model=64 --stagedir=./stage64debug 
--build-dir=./build64debug --layout=tagged --without-mpi variant=debug 
link=shared threading=multi runtime-link=shared install 
--prefix=./win64debug/indep --exec-prefix=./win64debug/bin 
--libdir=./win64debug/lib --includedir=./win64debug/include

Has a default setting in bjam been changed?  What can we add to the bjam 
command to get back to the old minimal names?

Thanks in advance.

Damien
