[Boost-build] Static runtime link on Linux

Rene,
in revision 1.38 of top-level Jamfile.v2, you've added code to build several 
variants of Boost libraries.

That does not seem to work for me, I now get:

  error: on gcc, DLL can't be build with <runtime-link>static
  error: it's suggested to use <runtime-link>static together with the
      <link>static

That just about right, it can't create a DLL that links to static libc.

Now the question is that's the best solution.

- Should we just silently build DLLs with dynamic runtime
- Should we adjust build request to not include this on Linux?

What do you think?
