Yes, please!

Not sure what you mean as the build number,
but here is how Boost computes version numbers:

// BOOST_VERSION % 100 is the patch level
// BOOST_VERSION / 100 % 1000 is the minor version
// BOOST_VERSION / 100000 is the major version
#define BOOST_VERSION 105200

It makes a bit shorter number.
