Not for me, I'm afraid. And I think there are two many linebreaks there, how 
about:

warning: No toolsets are configured -- configuring default toolset "gcc".
warning: If the default is wrong, you may not be able to build C++ programs.
warning: Use the "--toolset=xxxxx" option to override our guess.
warning: Please consult the documentation at
warning:   
http://boost.org/boost-build2/doc/html/bbv2/advanced/configuration.html
warning:   for more configuration options

But that's details. Given that the logic generally works, do you plan to merge 
it to the RC branch?
