#1902: consistently use symbolic links for versioned libraries under linux

 Reporter:  fmhess        |       Owner:  vladimir_prus
     Type:  Patches       |      Status:  new          
Milestone:  Boost 1.36.0  |   Component:  build        
  Version:  Boost 1.35.0  |    Severity:  Problem      
 Keywords:                |  
--------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
 Here is a patch which makes boost create symbolic links to the built
 libraries instead of some symbolic and some hard links.  It adds some
 fallback code for NT, which does a copy when a symlink is requested (based
 on the common.hard-link action for NT).
