I have been told that the "tagged" layout of Boost makes the library
easier to use, thus the src/boost.mk script calls "bjam" with the option:

    --layout=tagged

Question to all others on this list who are using Boost:

Is this option still desirable?

If it isn't, what layout should we use instead?
