    <para><parameter>link=shared</parameter>: This parameter ensures that only shared
    libraries are created, except for libboost_exception and libboost_test_exec_monitor
    which are created as static. Most people will not need the static libraries, indeed
    most programs using boost only use the headers, but omit this parameter if you
    do need them.</para>
