#3208: --with-<lib> might want to change - to _ in <lib>

 Reporter:  jewillco          |       Owner:  vladimir_prus
     Type:  Feature Requests  |      Status:  new          
Milestone:  Boost 1.40.0      |   Component:  build        
  Version:  Boost 1.39.0      |    Severity:  Cosmetic     
 Keywords:                    |  
------------------------------+---------------------------------------------
 The normal GNU conventions for configure scripts (which is what
 Boost.Build's --with-<lib> option appears to be trying to be) normally
 uses hyphens within feature names rather than underscores.  Boost library
 names, on the other hand, use underscores.  A trivial replacement in
 Boost.Build would allow things such as --with-graph-parallel to be written
 rather than --with-graph_parallel.
