Folks,
I would have like to merge Boost.Build state from trunk to release branch.
This matter was discussed briefly in 

        http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.devel/180814/

but it didi not lead anywhere, and further it seems to be some confusion
between merging Boost.Jam (which Rene wants) and merging Boost.Build.

To reiterate, I think Boost.Build should be merged because:

        - it now supports linux->windows cross compile
        - it allows to eliminate configuration warning messages from 
        libraries that are not built (which requires corresponding
        merges for libraries Jamfiles, but it's trivial)
        - it fixes a bug where include=/foo/bar could not be specified
        on the command line
        - it has some other smaller fixes
        - I don't see any breakage on trunk tests

Comments?
