Excellent! Is there any documentation / examples on how to write
modifiers?

For example, how would one write a modifier which makes bbv2 ignore
all the libraries on which my project depends, which names end with
"V2"? I.e. something like

lib libaV2 : V2/a.cpp ;
lib libaV3 : V3/a.cpp ;
lib libb : b.cpp libaV2 ;
exe myexe :
a.cpp
/libb
/libaV3
: <ignorelibbysuffix> V2 ;

In this case I want libb to be compiled against libaV2, but when myexe
is compiled, I want it to link a.obj with libb.lib with libV3.lib .

Thanks,
