-# The way Boost names library files by default is insane.  It's absolutely not compatible between
-# OSs, compilers, Boost versions, etc.  On Linux, for example, it would create
-# stage/lib/libboost_filesystem.a, while on Windows it would become something insane like
-# stage\lib\libboost_filesystem-vc142-mt-s-x64-1_72.lib.  More than that, older Boost versions
-# wouldn't include architecture information (the "x64" part) in the file name, so you couldn't
-# store libraries for both x86 and x64 in the same directory.  On Linux, on the other hand, you
-# can't even store debug/release binaries in the same directory.  What's worse is that older CMake
-# versions don't support the architecture suffix, choking on the Windows example above.
-#
-# With all of that in mind, I decided to bring some uniformity by sacrificing some flexibility.
-# b2 is called with --layout=system, and libraries are put to stage/<platform>/<configuration>/lib,
-# where <platform> is x86/x64 and <configuration> is CMake's CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE.  That means that I
-# can't have libraries with different runtime-link values in the same directory, but I don't really
-# care.
