Re: [boost] OT - option to strip lib off version on install

Sorry, slightly off-topic this time, but I know the last time I built the Boost libs, I specified an option to strip or rather create soft-links to versioned libraries, with soft-links stripping off version numbers (hope I'm clear); so that:

libboost_date_time-1_31.so -> libboost_date_time.so libboost_date_time-gcc-mt-d-1_31.so -> libboost_date_time-mt.so

Does any one of the top of their head know what that option is again?
