[Boost-build] Please review my current prototype of porting from make to BB

From: Daniel Einspanjer (deinspanjer_at_[hidden])

I have a presentation to my engineering team tomorrow where-in I hope to 
demonstrate to them some of the advantages of moving away from makefiles to 
BB.  The other alternative on the table is ant + cpptasks.

I started out by taking one directory (our util/common), which contains 
primarily one library that is linked all over in our project tree and a 
couple of stray utilities, and getting it building on Windows under bjam.  I 
reverse engineered a lot of the funkiness of our old makefile system and 
when I got it working there, moved over to Linux to work on that.

At this point, I am able to build on both platforms, but I am sure I've done 
a hundred things that would make the experienced BB people here cringe.

I'm sincerely hoping one of those people might have a few minutes to look 
over the Jamfiles in the attached zip (10 in all, none very large) and just 
let me know if I've done something terrible.

I'm quite nervous about the presentation and I really like everything I've 
learned about the BB system so far so I'm hoping to make the best 
impression.

Thanks for your time,

Daniel Einspanjer
