[boost] [python] patch for python.jam for setting suffix on HP-UX

From: Boris Gubenko (Boris.Gubenko_at_[hidden])

There is a logic in python.jam setting suffix for Boost.Python extension
files on HP-UX depending on version of Python interpreter. This logic does
not take into account the fact that on HP-UX PA-RISC, the suffix must be
".sl", regardless of the version of Python interpreter (I myself was not
aware of this fact before yesterday when I saw the results of Boost.Python
tests on HP-UX_pa_risc_gcc with Python 2.5: the tests compile, but fail
at run time).

Attached patch fixes the problem. Verified on HP-UX PA-RISC with Python
2.5. Verified on HP-UX ia64 with Python 2.3 and 2.5 that it does not cause
any regression. The patch relies on bjam setting correctly OSPLAT variable,
so, for bjam compiled with aC++ on HP-UX ia64, the patch for jam.h in

  http://lists.boost.org/boost-build/2007/11/17975.php

should be committed first.

Ok to commit?

Thanks,
  Boris
