It's not your fault for following the pattern that was already there, but looking at the path to identify the compiler is suboptimal at best. We should be invoking the compiler using the SHELL function and asking it to tell us its version. See gcc.jam for an example.
Does gcc.jam pickup CC and CXX env variables, btw? I think that i had trouble to use the auto guessed toolset since i want to use the CC and CXX and do not have gcc nor g++. I had to create my own cc.jam, since for --with-toolset=cc i was unable to find a corresponding jam file. CC and CXX both point to gcc executables of the form gcc-4.2-suffix resp. g++-etc How would i use these compilers to build boost?
