Dan, I'm confused. Are you the same guy as Martin Cole?

Yeah, I guess they would. I am hoping to make lots of progress on a system
that would make this stuff smoother.
BTW, I'm fairly certain  you can define these in the toolset file if they
are toolset-specific.

things like CFLAGS typically don't need to be quoted since the quotes are
only there to keep elements with embedded spaces from turning into multiple
command-line arguments. If you think there are problems, though, please
submit a patch.

Thanks! I'll check it in to CVS!
