   --layout=<layout>       Determines whether to choose library names
                           and header locations such that multiple
                           versions of Boost or multiple compilers can
                           be used on the same system.

                               versioned (default) - Names of boost
                               binaries include the Boost version
                               number and the name and version of the
                               compiler.  Boost headers are installed
                               in a subdirectory of <HDRDIR> whose
                               name contains the Boost version
                               number.

                               system - Binaries names do not include
                               the Boost version number or the name
                               and version number of the compiler.
                               Boost headers are installed directly
                               into <HDRDIR>.  This option is
                               intended for system integrators who
                               are building distribution packages.
