   Ok, it is easy to make the c++-template-depth feature optional and so 
not have any command line option defined in case it is not specified at 
all. I already have the change in my sandbox and I already committed and 
reverted it back from the main repository.

   The problem with this is that it changes the command line options 
passed to gcc & qcc compilers when this options is not specified. I 
believe this is actually the correct thing to do but I do not think this 
is the correct time to implement this change - being so close to the 
Boost library 1.36.0 release.

   My guess is that someone added this fixed command-line option to the 
gcc toolset as a quick-fix for some problem with building Boost 
libraries using the default gcc template-depth parameter value (probably 
17).

   I'll have a look at whether I can implement this change and not 
change gcc & qcc compiler command line options in the default case.

   Best regards,
