[boost] [build]Library naming not consistent with autolink

This was posted to boost-build 2 weeks agao but I got no reply so I thought I would try the development list. I created a variant based on debug variant: Variant MyDebug : debug : $(MyDebugSettings) ; Unfortunately the names of the libraries generated by boost.build do not have the 'd' key. For example: libboost_python-vc80-mt-g-1_35.lib Autolink expects: libboost_python-vc80-mt-gd-1_35.lib I checked the boost.build code and it seems that the 'd' key is only added when 'debug' variant is specified. This is not consistent to the behavior documented in "Getting Started" and other boost building instructions. Is this a bug or I missing something obvious. Regards, Sean
