[Boost-build] [1.34] How force static library linking if that's all the toolset supports?

Some of the regex 1.34 failures on cygwin are caused by cygwin dll builds 
not being especially reliable :-(  The failures are cleared by marking the 
regex lib as static only on that platform - given that the sporadic problems 
occur inside the shared std lib, I think this is the only thing to do when 
using std::locale extensively.

I've added:

<toolset>gcc-cygwin:<link>static

To the regex build requirements, which fixes things locally, but apparently 
not with the "gcc-cygwin-3.4.4" toolset used for regression testing.  Is 
there any way to mark these up so all gcc-cygwin* toolsets behave the same?

Thanks,

John.
