I'm interested in your practice here. How do you do the "changing the directory of the serialization"? Do you copy and overwrite, use symlinks?
My whole boost/release tree is connect to the boost SVN system. There is an SVN command which let change the directory to another SVN branch. I use tortoise SVN gui so I don't remember the exact command - it might be switch. Hint, make sure you have everything checked in before you do this.
Your approach combined with John's suggestion to use PCH should be a nice time saver.
It is a time saver. But it's much more than that. It changes the whole game. Now I'm not coupled to any quirks/experements in the trunk. And I can be almost 100 % sure that when I check into the trunk - then move my changes to release there will be almost never be a problem. This isn't hype. This has saved me tons of agravation.
Plus, I bjam jobs switch, even if I have only two cores.
