Summary:                    Suggestion for library path generation
Description: 
At present for each entry like

link_directories("${c_lib}/lib/boost/boost_1_55_0/lib/Win32")

the following sub-string is generated for <AdditionaLibraryDirectories> in
Visual Studio project files

<AdditionaLibraryDirectories>c:/lib/boost/boost_1_55_0/lib/Win32;c:/lib/boost/boost_1_55_0/lib/Win32/$(Configuration);

I suggest we add $(PlatformName) to the sub-path, making it

<AdditionaLibraryDirectories>c:/lib/boost/boost_1_55_0/lib/Win32;c:/lib/boost/boost_1_55_0/lib/Win32/$(PlatformName)/$(ConfigurationName)

64 bit Windows seamlessly runs both 32 and 64 bit executable so it is quite
common to maintain configurations for both platforms on the same machine.
