Hi

Sorry if this question has been asked before - if so please redirect me to 
the relevant thread.

I am buliding under MSVC8. In this version, Microsoft have introduced 
various annoying compiler defaults which I normally avoid using the 
following defines:

_HAS_ITERATOR_DEBUGGING=0
_CRT_NONSTDC_NO_DEPRECATE
_CRT_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE
_SECURE_SCL=0
_SCL_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE

For the Boost libraries which must be built as libraries, eg regex, I need 
to build them with these compiler flags. I have done this for regex by 
modifying the vc8.mak file. Is there a generic way of setting these flags 
in the jamroot or other file, so I dont need to modify particular files 
for each library?

Thanks for any suggestions.

John
