Hi,
Your bjam build system is one of the most stupid ideas I have ever seen. I
plead you to reconsider using something standard such as GNU make to build
Boost. But if you really want to stick with bjam, at least *LEARN HOW TO
USE IT!*
The build scripts on Boost 1.47.0 not only change the places of everything
gratuitously (so that my patches no longer apply cleanly) but it breaks
previous behavior of creating unversioned symbolic links to libraries on
Unix.
To troubleshoot that piece of crap I had to learn that stupid language and
figure out what was wrong.
If not even yourselves manage to get it right, it should be a clue that
it's garbage and it should be replaced with something else...
In any case, I'm attaching a patch to fix the issue in case others like me
are having this same issue.
