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. Full debug/release install takes about 0.5G. This is a lot!!

'mutil-thread' and 'sigal-thread' support? What's the relationship between these versions and the compiler options like '-pthread' ?

But why duplicates of each? On windows I get libboost_signals-bcb-1_32.dll and libboost_signals-bcb.dll Which are both the same. Why are there libraries without the version number in created?
