Wouldn't it work just to point bcp to the compiler of interest -- by giving it the name of one of a set of small prepackaged files that #defines the vendor-specific compiler-predefined macros that Boost cares about --
Also, there are macros introduced by Jamfiles and configuration macros set by users in their own Jam/Make/whateverfiles. Unless you know what their values will be ahead of time, you may leave out some files the user will need.
[Nat] Okay. But the reason I suggested capturing a compiler's typical #defines in a config file was to enable a user to create a custom one containing their own #defines as well. Heh, the custom config file wouldn't need to *clone* the generic one packaged with bcp: it could #include the generic one and then add to it.
