The patch against trunk attached.
Some comments:
1. dso.hpp file is added to boost/config
2. all the libraries updated to export only specified symbols except:
    Boost.Python (because it has own gcc stuff)
    Boost.Serialization (because a lot of link failures appeared when
running test cases)
3. The code was tested on gcc version 4.1.1 20070105 (Red Hat 4.1.1-52), i. e.,
    test cases from boost/libs/LIB_NAME/test was run. No linker
failures was experienced.
    Boost.MPI wasn't built and tested.

Any comments?
