boost fails to build +universal i386,x86_64,ppc

[jeremyhu@…]

If you have universal_archs set to i386 x86_64 ppc, boost will try to build for ppc64 which will cause it to fail to link due to missing dependencies.

It seems this is a deficiency in boost's logic. It has a switch for ppc/intel/both and a switch for 32/64/both, so you can't represent this configuration accurately with those options.

This patch looks like it should do the trick, I'm testing it now...

Yep, that worked.
