What should we do about the following Boost.Build toolsets which filename's length exceeds 31 characters:

?
Sorry to state the obvious, but... shorten the names?
How exactly? Every part of the name carries essential information that cannot be omitted without disabling other possible configurations. For example, the only way we could omit "vc6" in "intel-win32-7.1-vc6-stlport-4.5.3-tools" is if we explicitly decide that we don't care about, let's say, "intel-win32-7.1-vc7-stlport-4.5.3-tools", and nobody ever will. ^^^ And so on.
icl7.1-vc6-stlp453-tools?
