Linking mex files to boost libraries

Boost libraries have awkward names. They depend on all sorts of things: compiler version, library type, boost version, etc. E.g.: libboost_system-vc100-mt-1_51.lib. To help with this, boost functions tell the linker what libraries to include using a directive such as:
#pragma comment(lib, "libboost_system-vc100-mt-1_51.lib")
Now this is fine if the linker knows where to find the library. However, I'm building a mex file as follows:
mex -LMY_BOOST_LIB_DIR my_mex.cpp
(where MY_BOOST_LIB_DIR is correct for my system) and I get the error:
LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'libboost_system-vc100-mt-1_51.lib'
However, when I use:
mex -LMY_BOOST_LIB_DIR -llibboost_system-vc100-mt-1_51 my_mex.cpp
it works fine.
The issue is that I want to use MSVC's (as I'm on a Windows PC using that compiler) autolinking feature, but MATLAB's mex function doesn't appear to be passing the linker directory information through. Do you know a way round this?

Also, beware that Matlab uses boost itself. This means that their version of boost is polluting the path. This makes for all kinds of fun when linking to another release.
I had that problem once and my solution was to give the entire path when linking. I was not using mex though.

Thanks. I will use the entire path when linking.
