Here is a first patch to build boost using STLport 5.0 with MSVC compilers. STLport 5.0 has adopt a more simple naming schema for generated library, compiler name is not part of it anymore. Rather than changing existing variable in the .jam files I prefered to introduce a new variable STLPORT_USE_AUTO_LINK to signal support of the auto link feature. In this case no lib is specified at link phase, STLport takes care of it. Any remark on the patches will be welcome as I am a completely beginner with bjam. What I would like to achieve now is reflect in bajm files that 5.0 do not support 'wrapper' mode anymore, stlport-iostream feature has to be on per default with this version, is it possible?
