[boost] Boost Filesystem Build On GCC

When Boost Filesystem is built with bjam "-sTOOLS=gcc" or bjam
"-sTOOLS=mingw" on MinGW, the resulting static library is a .lib consisting
of .obj files.  However, it is traditional for gcc to use .a files which
consist of .o files.  I fix this by hand by renaming the .obj files to .o
and then executing ar rvs libboost_filesystem.a *.o , but it would be nice
if bjam would get it correctly by itself.
