Hi Volodya,

Thanks for the quick response!  That solution worked great!!  However, is  
there some way to specify these options on the command line or is the  
ideal solution to put this in a custom user-config.jam file and specify  
that file on the command line?  I'm setting up a build system that  
compiles my project in multiple compilers and configurations (with gcc 2,  
3, and 4), so having a method to automatically switch between them is  
crucial.

Thanks again!
