Re: [boost] boost.build, how to define new variants?

Hi Markus,

I believe the variant rule is only defined in boost-base.jam. Unfortunately,
the system isn't yet including that file before your Jamrules. I suggest
some Jam hackery on your part for the short-term, and participation in the
Boost.Build redesign in the long term.
