* When I'm testing different compiler settings trying to get another few percent of performance, I don't have to compile another Boost version for each compiler setting.
I think you have to rebuild the compile_inplace.cpp file each time you want to test a different compiler setting. I don't find an advantage to what you advocate here.
I think that his approach would be optional, in addition to the existing bjam setup, right? Hopefully those who know how to use a their build tools wont be impacted ;-). Why is branching necessary though? Isn't the proposal just to add a couple new cpp files? will it require modifying the existing ones? -- John
