Re: [Boost-build] platform dependant source files

Sorry for answering to my own post, but I looked into this more deeply 
and still more questions:

The os feature is based on the jam $(OS) variable is it?

If so, the variable reflects the platform jam was compiled on, not 
necessarily the platform the build is targeted for. E.g jam built with 
vc7, target platform is cygwin. So os will be of little help.

Is there a concept of target platform in Boost.Build? Of course the 
chosen toolset somehow implicitly carries this information too, but I am 
thinking about something available from boost/config.hpp where compiler 
and platform is separately factored out.

Would it be possible to get this platform information in bjam too?
