I am using boost-build in my project (very happy with the outcome) but I would like to have the toolset selected automatically based on the operating system. Currently I am running successfully from the command line by manually setting the toolset when I am running it from macos and linux accordingly, but I feel like the Jamroot file should be able to figure that out for me.  

Any ideas? 

I made a more descriptive post on stack overflow, to share the knowledge once we figure this one out.
