Well, I am generating PDBs for a couple of years now using a slightly
modified msvc.jam (see
https://github.com/DanielaE/boost.build/commits/vc). Unfortunatly, this
is just a hack that happens to work well enough for my use-case and
requires an additional step to collect the PDBs from the build tree to
the stage directory using some script. Putting more effort into this
isn't economical for at most three distribution build per year.

Ciao,
