Well, unfortunately I introduced the globbing to account for the aspect 
that even if one specifies the toolset as "gcc" BBv2 now expands that 
internally to the toolset with version, for example "gcc-4.1.2". But as 
you note the difference in the variant directories is an even more 
annoying problem.
