Boost-Build :

When working on Linux, the <hardcode-dll-paths>true is almost always what user
wants. This allows to run binaries which use dynamic libraries without
changing LD_LIBRARY_PATH or installing the libraries to system locations.
What about making "true" value the default, and stop telling the user about
<hardcode-dll-paths>?

The only case where it's not needed is when installing the binaries, so we'd
need the "stage" rule to use <hardcode-dll-paths>false unless user has
explicitly asked otherwise.

Thoughs?
