> 
>     - The Pathscale, PGI and mipspro compilers are now supported.    
>     - Support for autoconfiguration of toolset based on command-line
>       toolset=xxxx request, and for default toolset
>       configuration as a fallback.
>     - Support for precompiled headers for gcc toolset,
>       and improvements for msvc.
>     - Mechanism for removing inherited requirements.
>     - The 'make' rule support specifying usage-requirements.
>     - New 'project.extension' rule for declaring standalone
>       projects.
>     - New 'conditional' convenience rule.
>     - New 'glob-tree' rule.
>     - The 'glob' rule accepts patterns to exclude.
>     - Inline targets are now marked explicit automatically.

>     and uses -KPIC for shared libraries.
