I understand that you want consistency between platforms. Just beware that fighting the norms of a platform will cause difficulties.

I don't believe there is such an option. I will be open to a new value for --layout option, say 'bare', that suppresses version number completely. Robert, since you've already identified the code in question, and it's not particularly specific to Boost.Build, would you be interested in submitting a pull request?
We may also want to add something to the "Getting started..." docs mentioning the option and its uses. --Beman
