It's doesn't because I haven't had time to add it since the toolset appeared
in Boost.Build ;-) I'll try and add ASAP. ... Question on this... Is it a
possibility to install only the C compiler (cc) without the C++ compiler
(aCC)? I'm asking to see if I can use the presense of "aCC" as an indicator
that it's all installed.

It was necessary for when I built on Win32 with CW, which is why I added a
build.bat. And then to make things consistent I also added a build.sh to
mirror it. It does have the benefit that it's much easier to use than trying
to remember the option to pass to make to compile on each platform.
