[Boost-build] Advice for mixed toolsets?

Hello,

I've started working on an ocaml toolset to be able to use the exe rule
do build ocaml applications. This is fairly straightforward, except
where there are also C source files and libraries defined by other
projects that should be built with gcc on Linux and msvc on Windows.

I am able to say something like:

exe mlapp : [ glob *.ml ] [ glob *.c ] /libs//someclib/<toolset>gcc :
<toolset>ocaml ;

But I haven't yet gotten to the point of building the C code yet. Does
anyone have any advice on the best way to inherit the normal toolset
(gcc or msvc) for the C and libraries? Would this be done where the
generators are registered?

Thanks,

Eric
