[Boost-build] [bbv2] Sun.jam support for HPC compilers

Hi,

Another rookie question here.

I have this in my user-config.jam

# Configure Sun
using sun ; # : 5.7 : /opt/SUNWhpc/bin/mpCC : <stdlib>sun-stlport ;
using sunf77 ; # : 5.7 : /opt/SUNWhpc/bin/mpf95 : <fflags>-f77 ;

and I want users to get the CC/cc/f77 compilers by default.  But I want 
to make it easy for users to build with the MPI compiler wrappers 
located in Sun's High Performance Computing directory 
(/opt/SUNWhpc/bin) which are invoked as mpCC/mpcc/mpf77.

So the tools/build/v2/tools/sun.jam file has this initialization rule

rule init ( version ? : command * : options * )
{
   local condition = [ common.check-init-parameters sun : version 
$(version) ] ;
   command = [ common.get-invocation-command sun : CC : $(command) : 
"/opt/SUNWspro/bin" ] ;
   common.handle-options sun : $(condition) : $(command) : $(options) ;
   command_c = $(command_c[1--2]) $(command[-1]:B=cc) ;
   toolset.flags sun CONFIG_C_COMMAND $(condition) : $(command_c) ;
}

which is almost correct for what I need.  The only problem is that when 
users compile with the SUNWhpc compilers, C files are invoked as 
/opt/SUNWhpc/bin/cc rather than the correct /opt/SUNWhpc/bin/mpcc.

Part of my problem is that I want to take the user supplied command, 
/opt/SUNWhpc/bin/mpCC, and just replace the CC with cc to compile c 
files but I don't know how to do that.

I just not sure what the best solution is to this problem, any ideas?
