It's (at first) intended for apps that just use:
-lboost_program_options-mt
-lboost_system-mt
-lctemplate
-lmysqlclient
-lpthread
-lxbt
-lz
With this feature, they don't need to pass this info automatically.

True, but that's a different problem. One that might benefit from auto linking.

Is the ABI/API info encoded in the lib name?
