I don't think there's anything that autolinking can do to fix this: it requires that libraries are named consistently, and there's no way around that.

Yes, that's not what I meant to imply.

So we either need to update the docs, or preferably fix Boost.Build to detect the MSVC version. As Dave says it does this in other contexts already, so it should be possible.

Exactly.

BTW, this is a showstopper for 1.34 release I believe.
