Boost for Emscripten

2 changes over standard boost:

• hardcoded paths to emar and emranlib in boost's build tools, based on suggestions from StackOverflow. Should be possible to use the config file to do this, but I don't have the patience.
• Checked in project-config.jam, with a custom path for g++. This path also specifies emscripten compiler flags.

To compile parts of boost for use:

$ ./bootstrap.sh
$ git reset --hard # to revert change to project-config.jam
$ ./b2 --link=static --ignore-site-config --with-program_options --threading=multi
#                                                ^--------------
# change the -with option above to suit your needs

To use in a cmake project:

$ BOOST_ROOT=$HOME/PATH/TO/boost cmake [...]

(you may have to clear out your build directory so that cmake doesn't use cached values for what boost things are available)
