As always, the release managers would appreciate it if you download
the candidate of your choice and give building it a try. Please report
both success and failure, and anything else that is noteworthy.
I tried to build it on Ubuntu 18.04 with GCC 8 and C++17, with support
for LibICU enabled, and got the following error:
```
   error: Name clash for
'
libboost_filesystem-gcc8-mt-x64-1_71.so.1.71.0'
   error:
   error: Tried to build the target twice, with property sets having
   error: these incompatible properties:
   error:

   error:

   error: properties everywhere in your project, especially for install

```
Either I did something completely wrong or the configuration files of
Boost.FileSystem are inconsistent regarding some compiler-flags!?
Boost.Filesystem Jamfile doesn't use the properties listed in the
error message and I don't see anything wrong with the Jamfile. My
guess is that there is some sort of a dependency from another library
that messes up these properties, but it is not clear from the message
what that other library is. Or maybe there's a different problem. A
Boost.Build magician is needed.
I tested Boost 1.70.0 and 1.69.0 and realized that this error was 
introduced with Boost 1.70.0.
Maybe that helps in nailing the source of error down?
Boost 1.71.0 is released now with this bug. And now I realized that I 
was not the first to find that problem. There has been a bug-report in 
Github already. [1]

Maybe this problem can be fixed before the next release?

Thanks,
Deniz
