Sorry, I don't understand you yet. If you want to use mingw + wine, then you 
can simply create script called g++, and use it. If you want to build, on 
Linux, gcc binary targeting windows, then you'd only need to make build 
system use those binaries, right?

Is the question how to change the name of compiler used by Boost.Build?
