------------------------------------------+---------------------------------
 You cannot currently specify alternate gcc versions.  For example, if you
 do the following:
   ./b2 toolset=gcc-44

 You will get an error like:

     error: version '44' requested but 'g++-44' not found and version
 '4.1.2' of default 'g++' does not match

 This is because the version-checking code tries to run g++-44 instead of
 g++44... the patch fixes this in the affected code, comments, and
 printouts.
