[boost] Boost modular: Build without version number suffixes

Subject: [boost] Boost modular: Build without version number suffixes

When I build modular boost on Linux Mint 17, I get SO files named like so:

libboost_date_time.so.1.57.0

with a corresponding symlink without the version number:

libboost_date_time.so

I'd like it to build without the version number because when I rename
the base file to remove the version, code links fine but during
runtime it tries to load the SO with the version number at the end. I
don't know how to fix that, so I assume the fix is to build boost
without the version numbers.

Any help is appreciated.
