 Hi,
 I have been trying to compile the latest boost libraries in Windows with
 Microsoft's Clang 3.7 compiler (instead of the default Visual C++
 compiler) and doing that using the IDE which is *A LOT OF WORK* and does
 not build the tests and examples, etc.
 What I am looking for is a way to build boost using Boost.Build but
 telling it to use Microsoft's Clang compiler instead of default Visual C++
 compiler... Clang is actually much better at issuing warnings and
 explaining syntax errors and overall I think it's better

 However, how can I do this? Is there a toolset to be specified in the
 command line to b2?

 Thanks!!
 Juan
