[bug#28690] provide a lib output for boost

[Dave Love <dave.love@manchester.ac.uk>]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 338 bytes --]

I mentioned elsewhere noticing the large size of boost in closures.
I've now realized what the problem was with making a lib output, and
done one, as below.  However, presumably it should have a dependency of
out on lib for compatibility, and I don't know the right way to do that.

The lib package is 17MiB, and the headers are 108MiB.

Subject: [PATCH] gnu: boost: Make a "lib" output.

This save about half the contribution to the Closure of things linked against
it,

* gnu/packages/boost.scm(outputs): Add lib.
(arguments)[mv-lib]: Add move the lib output into place after install.
