Thanks for the help. I have made some progress at creating a
pathscale-tools.jam, starting from mipspro-tools.jam (but keeping my eye
on gcc-tools.jam, in case of link problems).

I can't figure out a couple of things about the output. Due to compiler
problems I haven't finished a build, but I can see that the output files
in the stage directory are being named this way:

libboost_date_time-pathscale-1_31.a

When building for the intel-linux toolset, I see 2 copies of the
equivalent file:

libboost_date_time-il-1_31.a
libboost_date_time-il.a

I would like to know (a) how to abbreviate 'pathscale' to 'ps' in the
file names and (b) how to make a second copy of each file without the
Boost version in the name. (Perhaps (b) will take care of itself, if
the build ever finishes successfully.)
