As a suggestion, we could generate differently named .pc files, similar 
to how we mangle binary names.

When Boost is packaged though, it is typically compiled in just one 
configuration, so a single set of binaries is packaged and then 
installed in the end user system. In this scenario there is no need for 
name mangling, neither for binaries nor for .pc files.
