Aha. I've misquoted '.' when splitting version number.

Works now.

I have modified patch to invoke this, and use the result if no version is
explicitly specified.

Works!

Oh, one more thing (and a funny one): errors on issuing an error message:

$ bjam toolset=darwin threading=multi link=shared runtime-link=shared --with-system architecture=combined address-model=64 stage --stagedir=. variant=release -d+2 && echo "Report: `lipo -info lib/*`"

/Users/boris/Downloads/boost_1_40_0/tools/build/v2/tools/darwin.jam:321: in setup-address-model

rule errors.user-error unknown in module darwin.

(this is the case when it detected 64-bit PPC compilation targetting 10.6 and wants to issue errors.user-error "64-bit PPC compilation is not supported when targeting OSX 10.6 or later")

Thanks for tirelessly supporting a platform you can't test on and which I use!
