[boost] Incorrect extensions for cygwin gcc builds

Hi,

I have encoutered a problem when building under win2k with cygwin gcc 3.2.

Boost.Build select an extension for binary files according to OS platform. 
So for the Windows paltform it selects .lib for library files and .obj for object files.

However cygwin is using unix-like .a for libs. When I have compiled regex library,
I got libboost_regex.lib as an output, and cygwin ld did not recognized it.
I had to build regex with sSUFLIB=.a 

Is this a feature or a bug?
