There are various ways to control that but the easiest is to set the CC and CXX
environment variables (on POSIX platforms.)

Again, when on Windows, things are a bit different. There you need to
specify the toolset with -T when using the default Visual Studio generator
(or select a generator with -G.)

CMake's philosophy is very different from b2's.
