I'll add it to the do list. > Isn't there a big flaw in that naming-convention ? It means I can't install a version compiled for different compilers due to their differing ABIs. Therefore, I'd rather go for libboost_<name>_<ABI-tag>-version.lib 'name' being 'filesystem' in this case and 'ABI-tag' an identifier for the compiler, possibly including the stdlib. (note: STLport already uses such a scheme, I'd prefer just stealing their ABI-tags if there are no good reasons to do otherwise).
