Re: [boost] [BGL] graphviz vs. MSVC 7.1

Did a bit more research on this. It seems that Rene Rivera posted a 
hacked Jamfile for msvc/graphviz on boost-users last month (see 
below). This appears to work. No I am curious. Is there a way to 
incorporate something like this into the real Jamfile? Or should I be 
playing with v2? Maybe not since the Jamfile.v2 seems to require lex 
and yacc. I am trying to get the graphviz stuff to work in a the 
context of a group containing individuals with bare-bones 
environments.  If I require too many external tools then I will face 
barriers to acceptance.

Thanks,
Mat
