 To build the boost python binding and the boost mpi python bindings for
 different Python versions (eg. for Debian packages), different versions of
 the Python bindings must be compiled.

 With current --buildid option the id is added to all libraries. This works
 fine for the Python buildings, because they do not depend on other boost
 libraries. But for the Python mpi bindings it's not optimal, because they
 then depend on versions of libboost-mpi and libboost-serialization with
 the buildid.

 The --pythonid option which is intoduced by the attached pach only adds
 the id to libboost-python and libboost-mpi-python.

 The current patch does not add the id to the Python module (mpi.so). This
 is because I could not figure out how to add an id to the module name.
 However it would probably be nice to add it there as well.
