#26466: finer control of boost

Comment(by adfernandes@…):
You know, building boost is such a horrible experience... I like your
suggestions.
So... boost should build, buy default, only the `release`,
`multithreaded`, `shared` code. That should cut down on build times.
I am quite busy for the next few days - could I ask you to patch the
Portfile so that `threading=multi`, `link=shared` is the default, with
`single` and `static` as variants, and test it?
I believe that on a Mac, `runtime-link=shared` is the only option that has
any effect; OS X, as far as I know, does '''not''' support static linking
of the runtime the way Linux or FreeBSD do.
Thanks for your input!
