Re: [Boost-build] How can I manipulate build-dir's feature drivensubdirectories?

I'd just like to bump this post once and ask if there is any documentation 
or advice on changing the order of directories in the build-dir?  Is it 
feasible to make my customer feature come before variant? Would it be bad to 
make toolset not be part of the build-dir unless it wasn't the one I had 
declared as the default for the platform?

Thanks,
Daniel
