Milestone 4, preview 1

The first preview of the next milestone release is available at

http://boost.sourceforge.net/boost-build2/boost-build.zip
http://boost.sourceforge.net/boost-build2/boost-build.tar.bz2

The changes from the previous release are:

- STLport support implemented.
- Added support for resource compiler.
- New syntax for target id is introduced; old one is available for a while.
- The msvc toolset was changed to produce warning, not error, when it
cannot find the compiler. 
- Toolset modules, and project-root.jam, can act as project
modules. One-directory project can contain only 'project-root.jam', and
omit Jamfile. 
- QT is usable by <library>/qt//qt, not by <uses>qt, as previously.
- Bugfix: C files are compiled in C mode, not in C++ mode --- which used
to cause errors.
- Bugfix: building from directory which name contains regex metacharacters 
now works.

Because of target-id syntax changes, it's recommended to switch to the new 
version. 

I'd appreciate if a few persons try it out and report problems before final 
release.

Thanks in advance,
Volodya
