Simplify bjam handling; use the unversioned commands from boost-build-1.52.0-r1; force-disabled C++11 support; add threads USE flag and only build either single- or multi-threaded libraries so that there is no doubt on what's being linked in (a deptree check shows that they can cross and collide); use the system layout, designed for Unix installs (closes bug #442116 together with part of Arfrever's patch); drop old code (bug #442114 by Arfrever); use proper GNU stack markings (bug #440284); fix boost.mpi python module (bug #441806) and optimize the module (sneaked in the same bug).
