boost 1.59 build option layout

[hansgans]

I see that boost is build using --layout=tagged. That means all libraries get the ending -mt. Since on linux that standard option is --layout=system I would suggest to switch to that one. Would make it a bit easier to write Code which runs on Mac and linux.

Best wishes, Peter

The Milestone field is for use by Macports team members only, please do not set it.

In the future, please Cc the port maintainers (port info --maintainers boost), if any.

I have no issue with using "mt" or "system" or "foo" or whatever. Most build systems are robust enough to detect variants on names these days. Does it really matter that much? I genuinely don't see the need to change. That said, since all ports using Boost will require updating when we do eventually update boost to 1.63 or whatever the latest is, we could do a switch at that time if it is desired to do the name change. Would help weed out stealth linking in ports, too.

I see no reason to change the layout. Doing so will just cause problems.

OK. I'm closing this as "wontfix". If anyone disagrees, please come up with a compelling reason to change layout names, more-so than that already in this ticket.
