[Boost-build] String processing

Subject: [Boost-build] String processing

In our Jamfiles, we usually have a rule of the form:

install all
    : OurExecutable
    : <variant>release:<location>Release
      <variant>debug:<location>Debug
    ;

Now I'm adding another variant, "production", for what goes on our 
production machines.  The problem is that then running "bjam production 
all" gives and error that all depends on itself.  I can fix this by 
adding a <variant>production:<location>Production.  But it seems the 
smarter trick is to replace the <variant>release:<location>Release 
requirements with a <conditional> rule.

Is there any documentation of how to do string processing with boost 
build?  All I see are parameter expansion modifier to convert text to 
all lower or all upper case.  I need something to convert it a string to 
title case.
