I have not seen any of these mails, not sure why. I general, I have
a problem with boost-build list. For one, it does not let me post
directly. Now I think I'm not getting all the messages either.
Fortunately, you've cc-ed me on your mail.

The reason for acc_pa_risc.jam' existence is that people running
regression tests on PA-RISC tried to implement Rene's suggestion in:

   http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.testing/4471/

and, for some reason, it did not work. I have not looked at it, but
I'm not bjam expert, so, I'm not sure if I could be of any help.

Until they/we figure out how to use custom toolset based on acc.jam,
they'll be using their private copy of acc_pa_risc.jam, which was
the case before I added it to SVN.

Thanks,
  Boris
