With one VS version supporting multiple toolsets you can't use the VS version anyway can you?
That's a good point. If I use, say, VS 2015 with the v120 toolset, I need to link to the vc120 libraries, not to the vc140 ones. So it seems that boost_1_XX_0/lib$(PlatformArchitecture)-vc$(PlatformToolsetVersion)/ is better.
I agree that this matches better with the way MS has evolved the platform, so does that mean that we should change boost build to match e.g. b2 toolset=vc-141?
That's not really something we should be doing at this particular point in time. msvc-14.1 is good enough for me.
