My (semi-)personal dog in the fight: For the binary builds that we've put on sourceforge, the libraries are organized in directories based on the b2 command that was used to build them. This b2 toolset=msvc-14.0 address-model=32 would make boost_1_XX_0/lib32-msvc-14.0/. This could then be added to Visual Studio's link path (across multiple project files for different compilers/architectures) with boost_1_XX_0/lib$(PlatformArchitecture)-msvc-$(VisualStudioVersion)/.

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.
