How can I decode the boost library naming?

by

See Boost getting started windows section 6.3 naming and section 6.1 on Unix naming

The ones that deal with -mt and d are

-mt Threading tag: indicates that the library was built with multithreading support enabled. Libraries built without multithreading support can be identified by the absence of `-mt`.  

-d ABI tag: encodes details that affect the library's interoperability with other compiled code. For each such feature, a single letter is added to the tag as listed in this table:
  Key   Use this library when (Boost.Build option)
  s     linking statically to the C++ standard library 
        and compiler runtime support libraries.
        (runtime-link=static)
  g     using debug versions of the standard and runtime support libraries. 
        (runtime-debugging=on)
  y     using a special debug build of Python.
        (python-debugging=on)
  d     building a debug version of your code.
        (variant=debug)
  p     using the STLPort standard library rather than
        the default one supplied with your compiler.
        (stdlib=stlport)
