Thanks, Vladimir. I've copied this and it basically works.
Some flaws:
Toolset does not specify Llibrary path with -L option. It therefore 
doesn't link on my machine because I'm not using vendor-stlport (SuSE) 
but own version patched for gcc-3.2.1 and my programs.
(Hardcoding dll-path with -Wl,-rpath would be great, too).

It does not work with qt-toolset. bjam says:

hunold_at_stofi:~/develop/laden/gui> bjam --v2 stdlib=stlport
/home/hunold/packages/boost/tools/build/new/feature.jam:777: in

when using with stport-toolset. It chokes even when doing
hunold_at_stofi:~/develop/laden/gui> bjam --v2
/home/hunold/packages/boost/tools/build/new/feature.jam:777: in

I've skipped the rest of the messages since they do not seem to be 
important. 
The problem seems to be the "extra argument" line. I don't know what 
triggers this.

Simplest use: specify _STLP_DEBUG and link against -lstlport_gcc_debug.
This enables the debug engine. You can then specify more specific debug 
options (see stlport/stl_user_config.h)
