> - Fix ports that don't install symlinks to do so

.so.X.Y -> .so symlink is required by ld(1) but why do we need .so.X.Y -> .=
so.X
or .so.X.Y.Z -> .so.X.Y -> .so.X as well? According to semantic versioning[=
1]
major version bump is only required for incompatible changes. Boost breaks
API/ABI on each minor release where API incompatibility is minor (i.e., few
breaking changes) but ABI has no guarantees at all. As SONAME already encod=
es
.so.X.Y.Z there's nothing to fix in Boost.

For one, find_library() works fine on CentOS 7 without .so.X.Y.Z -> .so.X
symlink.

$ ls -1 /usr/lib64/libboost_python*
/usr/lib64/libboost_python-mt.so.1.53.0
/usr/lib64/libboost_python.so.1.53.0

>>> find_library("boost_python")
'libboost_python.so.1.53.0'
