[boost] Heads up for Borland bjam users (Toolset changes)

I've made some changes to the Borland toolset:

Problems with test programs thinking that they are GUI apps when they're not
have now been fixed.

I've added -Ve -Vx -a8 options to the command line by default.

As a result libraries compiled with bjam should now be binary compatible
with the default IDE options.

The bad news is that you must delete any previous object files / libraries
from your hard drive before building the test programs with bjam (or build
with the -a option), otherwise you will potentially have a mix of
binary-incompatible object files getting linked together.

Hopefully this will make things better in the long run, albeit with some
short term pain (a rebuild).
