[Boost-build] Custom link options when building libs

I want to pass an option to the MSVC linker, when building a .lib file, to 
disable a specific warning. I tried to specify:

<toolset>msvc-8.0:<linkflags>"-ignore:4221"

in the requirements, but as far as I can see using the -n option of bjam, 
this is not passed to the linker when generating a lib file. I also looked 
in msvc.jam and couldn't see anything in the .archive actions that would 
pass <linkflags> to the linker when building a lib - but I could be wrong, I 
don't know jam so I may have missed something...

Obviously this isn't of much importance, but I suspect it is very easy to 
fix so I decided to report it.

Thanks,
Emil
