Someone (John Maddock I think) suggested we use something like a ./configure script which actually configured BBv2 for you -- i.e. edited your site-config.jam and/or user-config.jam file setting the correct/detected/configured toolkits. Might be worth looking at, and might even be interactive (Python anyone? ;) ).
I wrote such a script, and it's there in $BOOST_ROOT. It only works on Unix-like systems, but it handles the simplest cases very well.
Exactly, the idea was to enhance the script to handle CXX/CXXFLAGS/LDFLAGS etc, so users could build with compilers not necessarily supported by Boost.Build yet. John.
