Done. I changed the Jamfile.v2 so that RTTI is turned off only when 
building the individual object files not when linking the library, nor 
when linking to other libraries (i.e. filesystem).

A better solution would be a pragma in the sources, as that would also 
account for when users don't use Boost.Build and build the files 
directly. But I don't know if an RTTI pragma exists.
