  The boost-coroutine library is only compiled as a static library

Bug description:
  The boost-coroutine library is currently only compiled as a static
  library, while all other boost libraries are compiled also as shared
  objects.

  Static libraries cannot be linked against shared objects, and hence
  this renders this library useless by other libraries and plugins.

  This makes the library completely unusable for me, since I need to link to
  it from a shared object. I imagine I am not the only one attempting to
  do that.

  Right now I am forced to drop crucial functionality in Ubuntu for a
  library that I develop (http://graph-tool.skewed.de) simply because of
  this bug.

  AFAIK, there is no reason not to compile it as a shared object, since that
  is what most other distros do.
