Thanks I did some similar hacking to my user-config.jam file a while back so 
I could run STLport tests locally.  However, I'm not sure we want end users 
to have to around hacking user-config.jam ?

Is there any way we can make this easier for folks who just want to build 
the libraries?

Thanks,

John.
