Hi Beman,

A couple of comments on RC2.  It builds fine with the darwin toolset  
(gcc 4.0.1) on an Intel core2 running Tiger.  All the documentation  
links I checked worked okay.  There're a couple of issues building  
with the Intel compilers under Tiger (the intel-darwin toolset).

(1) The configure script doesn't recognize the intel-darwin toolset.   
I've attached patches to both tools/jam/src/build.sh and tools/jam/ 
src/build.jam so the intel-darwin toolset is recognized.  With these  
patches, users with intel compilers on the Mac should be able to:

        ./configure --with-toolset=intel-darwin ; make

(2) Python fails to compile when the intel compilers generate 64 bit  
code, the fix is to build 32 bit if you need python.

(3) The address-model property in intel-darwin.jam isn't properly  
configured.  I've attached a patch to fix tools/build/v2/tools/intel- 
darwin.jam to make this work with address-model=32,64.

(4) The regex library (built shared as a dylib), doesn't link due to,  
apparently, missing symbols in the runtime.

        __ZNSt15basic_streambufIwSt11char_traitsIwEE8overflowEj
        __ZNSt15basic_streambufIwSt11char_traitsIwEE9pbackfailEj

(5) The filesystem library (built shared) fails to link building 32  
bit for an internal link error.

        ld: internal error: output_local_symbols() inconsistent local symbol  
count
