[boost] [mpi] Naming of Python extension

Subject: [boost] [mpi] Naming of Python extension

At present, when both mpi and python are configured/detected, Boost.MPI tries to build a python
extension which is named, on Linux, mpi.so. When building with --build-type=complete, an
attempt to build that file with several properties is made, which Boost.Build detects and
complains about. 

This was the case for several releases, and nobody seemed to care, but it's still not good.
So, could Boost.MPI maintainers express their preference for either:

- Building one variant of mpi.so, no matter what, in which case what variable (debug/release,
single/multi threaded)?
- Building several, differently named or installed in different places, variants of mpi.so

Thanks,
Volodya
