Subject: [PATCH] Add argument to pass extra arguments to boost b2 build tool
 (#28)

This adds a way to pass arguments to the `b2` build tool, used by Boost. This is needed in order to link a getdeps built boost into an relocatable `.so`. The motivating use case is that we need to statically link Boost into a native library used by a python wheel, which must be relocatable. This functionality already exists for CMake-based projects.
