Hi

after running bootstrap.sh, if I want to pass my compiler (in this case 
cygwin), is it correct to modify project-config.jam and replace

if ! gcc in [ feature.values <toolset> ]
{
     using gcc ;
}

with

using gcc : : : <compileflags>-DBOOST_WINDOWS_API 
<compileflags>-mno-cygwin <linkflags>-mno-cygwin ;

this way, am I sure that these compiler options will be passed to the 
compiler?

thanks in advance
