Another thing that would be pretty nice for Windows/autolink users would be something like
b2 --target libboost_date_time-vc80-mt-sgd-1_61.lib
to work, as the link error message one gets when the compiler/IDE can't find an autolinked library gives its name but it's not trivial to get from there to the required b2 command line.
What does work now is:
b2 --build-type=complete msvc-8.0 libboost_date_time-vc80-mt-sgd-1_61.lib
Thanks, I did wonder whether something like that would work, but didn't try it. This should be documented in our "getting started" Windows guide.
