[UI] dll/lib

Boost.Build V1 uses separate rules for static and dynamic libraries, and 
I don't particularly like that.

For example, Linix apps with autoconf have "--enable-shared" configure 
options, which just makes all the libraries static -- quite simple. Why 
have two rules in Boost.Build. Take a look at Boost.Signals Jamfile -- 
it declares lib and dll target which are othewise identical.

I think we can introduce a new feature, say "shared", to control dll/lib 

distinction.

Thoughts?
