Hm, I don't know where the BBv2 syntax I mentioned is documented. But 
the tutorial does talk about an even simpler syntax of just adding 
"debug" or "release" 
<http://boost.org/boost-build2/doc/html/bbv2/tutorial.html>. And the 
front page mentions the profile variant 
<http://boost.org/boost-build2/>. Aha, here's the exact docs 
<http://boost.org/boost-build2/doc/html/bbv2/advanced/builtins/features.html>.

I don't know. First of, I've never used the VC profile support so I 
could not even begin to guess what you mean. But looking at the toolset 
sources, for msvc it doesn't seem to add any options to the commands 
when profiling=on.

No need to apologize :-) I'm about as uninformed as you in this respect. 
Hence why I'm asking what's wanted/needed/available.
