Cross compling with multiple toolsets

Hello all,

I'm learning boost.build and would like advice on how to setup a project
where I'm going to be cross compiling the same program for multiple
platforms using various toolsets. The simplest example would be a single
source that needs to be compiled using multiple toolsets:

exe main : main.c : <toolset>gcc ;
exe main : main.c : <toolset>msvc ;

But I'd really like to have more control from the command line, for example;
sometimes I'd to compile only with gcc other times msvc and still others
both. Of course reality is more complex with multiple sub-projects some
which are applicable to only a single platform and others for both. Are
there any examples that might provide a reasonable model?

Thanks,
