I tried `b2 install install-no-version-symlinks=on`, but it had no effect. 
So I guess the answer is "none". I suppose the right thing to do is to 
reverse the change and reinstate the original behavior to not install these 
symlinks on `b2 install`. I'm not quite sure about `b2 stage`, but it should 
probably be consistent with `b2 install`, because many packaging scripts use 
`stage` instead of `install` for some reason.
