err...both (boost code that happens to be my code :) ).

I'm only using Boost.Build to run the regression tests -- specifically for
Boost.Multiarray, a library I maintain.  My rationale for requesting the
addition is that at least multi_array passed all regression tests without
it, though stricter (wrt the C++ Standard) compilers (that I do
not have access to :) ) reject it.  It seems to me that enabling
stricter adherence to the Standard (at least as per the EDG front-end used
in icc) by default would be a Good thing.
