In case anyone is wondering what's James talking about, this is the
thread you need to read:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.user/50407

If you use "--layout=tagged" parameter when building Boost, libraries
will have the decorations (compiler, version, etc) they have had until
1.39.0, so the patch must keep backwards compatibility. It's just an
additional test to be performed.
