Hey Dave -- I worked at Dragon Systems while you and Tim Peters were there -- sorry if this has already been answered, but why the insistence that gcc.jam and darwin.jam merge? I thought the whole point of the tool inheritance framework was to allow for this kind of derivation? I'm happily using BBv2 on a PowerBook and I would hate to encounter a ton of churn to back get to where I am today. Seems kind of unusual to me to include a ton of Darwin/MacOS X-specific rules and actions to support bundles and frameworks in gcc.jam.
