Oh cool, I'll try that out.

This is what I have in user-config.jam:

import toolset : using ;

# GCC configuration

# Configure gcc (default version)
using gcc ;

Is it possible to modify my user-config.jam
to detect what operating system I am on, and include the
correct toolset? The reason I ask is because
I have a single Boost Build tree (from CVS), on an NFS exported
directory, and I have
multiple bjam binaries. In my .bashrc, I set
the PATH to pick up the correct bjam depending on my OS. 
The BOOST_ROOT is the same for me on whatever platform I am on.

If I could get my user-config to use the darwin toolset
on MacOS X, that would allow me to test BBv2 quickly
on multiple platforms from a single Boost source tree.

Thanks!
