Hi,

Am I right that by default the msvc toolset does not turn of this 
security stuff from microsoft?

When I did

nesotto_at_ottosen /cygdrive/d/boost/trunk/tools/build/v2/tools
$ grep -rin "secure" *
intel-win.jam:91:    # Disable Microsoft "secure" overloads in 
Dinkumware librar
ies since they
intel-win.jam:93:    C++FLAGS += -D_SECURE_SCL=0 ;
mpi.jam:250:                <toolset>msvc:<define>_SECURE_SCL=0

there are aparently no flags in the msvc toolset. I have seen other 
pages recomment the following:

"If you use and of the compiled libraries in boost, just add this to 
your bjam command-line:
define=_CRT_NONSTDC_NO_DEPRECATE define=_CRT_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE 
define=_SECURE_SCL=0 define=_SCL_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE 
define=_HAS_ITERATOR_DEBUGGING=0"

Thanks in advance
