Subject: [Boost-build] String processing
From: Anthony Foglia (AFoglia_at_[hidden])

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.
