I have separate user-config.jam files for each toolset, one of which 
gets symbolically linked to user-config.jam depending on which toolset I 
am using. This is necessary because Boost build wants to invoke every 
toolset in user-config.jam even when a b2 command line specifies only a 
single toolset to use. I already complained about this on the Boost 
build mailing list but evidently the change in Boost build will not happen.

The batch file sets the PATH and the user-config.jam for whichever 
toolset is being invoked. Then b2 is invoked with a particular toolset.

This setup is the only way I can work with multiple versions of 
mingw(-64)/gcc and multiple versions of clang.
