I just installed Boost and noticed the library names all have the
compiler/boost version in the file name, e.g. gcc41. 
libboost_date_time-gcc41-mt-1_39.a
The program I'm trying to compiler only looks for the library name, e.g.
libboost_date_time-mt.a. 
My error:
error: Unable to find file or target named
error:     '/usr/lib/libboost_date_time-mt.a'
error: referred from project at
error:     '.'
How can I make boost install using the library names without compiler
name/boost version?
Compile Boost with --layout=tagged.
