Toolset options

Hi Andre,
there's as yet uncommitted patch from you which allows to specify the type of 
linker (gnu or sun) for the gcc toolset. The questions was if the new 
parameter to init conflicts with compiler options and linker options 
parameters.

I now think that it's desirable to collapse the parameters in one, so it's 
possible to write:

using gcc : 3.4 : : <cxxflags>foo <linkflags>bar <linker-type>sun ;

Having 5 positional parameters would be an overkill.

If you have the time to update your patch so that it uses this syntax for 
gcc.jam, I'll be happy to integrate it and adjust the other toolsets.

BTW, I think you can use the 'feature.get-values' rule instead of 'get-option' 
that you've written. 

Thanks,
Volodya
