   One more thing. You might want to consider using the <host-os> and 
<target-os> properties for this instead of the toolset property. Some 
toolsets, like gcc, usually work on multiple platforms so might not be a 
good filter for deciding whether to include some platform dependent sources.

   Hope this helps.
