I was wondering why I get duplicates on my Linux box as well. The files are with 1_32 and without extension and they are exactly the same.
On any Unix I would expect those to be hardlinks to each other. Are you sure this is not the case?

On my Debian GNU/Linux installation, 2/3 of those files are symlinks. I think that's just for convenience, so instead of linking such longwinded names as libboost_filesystem-gcc-mt-1_32.so.1.32.0 you can just link to libboost_filesystem (which is a symlink to the former). Since Windoze doesn't have symlinks, I don't know how this handled there though. -- Matthias Kaeppler
