[boost] Contributing new toolset support

I'd like to contribute support for a new build toolset for boost, but I'm
not sure how to go about it.

Details: using the -mno-cygwin option it is possible to use the gcc from
cygwin to produce native windows executables and dll's (like mingw does).
Turning on this option also means providing a replacement standard library,
in my case STLport, and seems to make building a working boost jam pretty
difficult. I think the best way to go is to introduce a new toolset name
(e.g. NOCYGWIN) which does all the necessary stuff. Actually, I've had the
build working for a few days, but it would need some tidying up for general
use.

Is there sufficient interest to include this in the CVS? How would I go
about contributing the necessary changes?

Thanks,
Raoul Gough.
