[boost] autolinking

Subject: [boost] autolinking

I'd like to build a boost subset using my own build system.

I'd like to turn off autolinking and control the names of the libraries,
but it seems I can't.  Is that intentional?

I tried to use BOOST_AUTO_LINK_NOMANGLE as a starting point
but setting that only helped for the first inclusion of auto_link.hpp, 
since it
undefines it.

Can I offer this trivial patch, or at least suggest something similar?
