Comment(by braden@…):

 Closing this as "wontfix" based on some speculation about what
 `-flat_namespace` does seems premature. There are some significant
 unanswered questions here that may have an impact on how, for instance,
 MacPorts needs to treat `[Requires|Libs].private` in `pkg-config`.
 Concretely:

   * If `boost_filesystem` provided `pkg-config` metadata, would, from the
 perspective of the `pkg-config` maintainer, the dependency on
 `boost_system` go in `Libs` or `Libs.private`?
   * If the latter, should MacPorts be patching `pkg-config` to treat
 `Libs.private` the same as `Libs`? (I think probably so.)
