Pardon my nit-picking, but I fail to see the relation between BOOST_ALL_NO_LIB spelling and autolinking -- which is exactly what this macro controls. Perhaps this macro has some extra semantics, but I can't find any, except for auto-linking, in separate_compilation.html, nor in library's config.hpp files. Wouldn't it be better if the macro was named BOOST_ALL_NO_AUTOLINK? Thanks, Volodya

Ummm, with mumbled apologies, yes it would. But, it's not only that one, all the auto-link macros would benefit from a bit of creative (and consistent) renaming at some point. John.
