For every library that needs a bjam build of some source files there are two kinds of Jamfiles in the repository. The default is set to use version 1 Jamfiles. While trying to reorganize the threading library it looks like I could make good use of a feature that is only available in Boost.Build v2. I.e. having toolset specific source files. Unfortunately there is no work around available for the v1 Jamfiles. So my question is as whether v1 support is a requirement for boost releases. If yes, are there plans to drop this requirement at any time in the future? Roland
