Re: [boost] How do I point to STLPort when building on MSVC

Hi Bob,

Right now, the way to use STLPort with a new compiler is to write a new
toolset definition file in the style of gcc-stlport-tools.jam. I apologize
that there is no documentation for the extends-toolset rule which is used
there, but I think how to do it should be /fairly/ transparent. Please let
me know how it goes for you and if you succeed, submit your new toolset
description to me for re-integration into Boost.

Thanks for using Boost.Build,
Dave
