Hi All,

As you probably already know, we also need to take care of these:

borland-5.5.1-tools.jam: filename contains more than one dot character ('.')
borland-5.6.4-tools.jam: filename contains more than one dot character ('.')
como-win32-4.3.3-vc7-tools.jam: filename contains more than one dot character ('.')
como-win32-4.3.3-vc7.1-tools.jam: filename > 31 chars, filename contains more than one dot character ('.')
cw-8.3-tools.jam: filename contains more than one dot character ('.')
cw-9.2-tools.jam: filename contains more than one dot character ('.')
cw-9.3-tools.jam: filename contains more than one dot character ('.')
intel-win32-7.1-vc6-stlport-4.5.3-tools.jam: filename > 31 chars, filename contains more than one dot character ('.')
intel-win32-7.1-vc6-tools.jam: filename contains more than one dot character ('.')
intel-win32-8.0-tools.jam: filename contains more than one dot character ('.')
intel-win32-8.1-tools.jam: filename contains more than one dot character ('.')
mingw-3.3.1-tools.jam: filename contains more than one dot character ('.')
mingw-3.4.1-tools.jam: filename contains more than one dot character ('.')
mingw-3.4.2-tools.jam: filename contains more than one dot character ('.')
vc7.1-stlport-tools.html: filename contains more than one dot character ('.')
vc7.1-stlport-tools.jam: filename contains more than one dot character ('.')
vc7.1-tools.html: filename contains more than one dot character ('.')
vc7.1-tools.jam: filename contains more than one dot character ('.')
vc8.0-tools.jam: filename contains more than one dot character ('.')
vc8.0-x86_amd64-tools.jam: filename contains more than one dot character ('.')

I suggest we either replace the dots with underscores, or get rid of them 
completely (besides the last one, of course), i.e. either:

borland-5_5_1-tools.jam
borland-5_6_4-tools.jam
como-win32-4_3_3-vc7-tools.jam
...

or

borland-551-tools.jam
borland-564-tools.jam
como-win32-433-vc7-tools.jam
...

Preferences?

[I also know that there is more to this than just renaming of the files; any
help with the whole matter would be greatly appreciated.]
