#3130: Provide 'All' library

Comment(by grafik):

 Providing such a universal single lib build would introduce a library
 naming compatibility problem. If the same library name can be configured
 to include different permutations of the Boost libraries then one would
 get rather bad link problems. Hence we would have to tag the library
 produced with something indicating which libs it includes. And obviously
 just listing which libs used is horrible, as it would produce rather long
 names. Which leaves having some sort of hash as a tag.
