Subject: [Boost-build] Notation for properties
From: Edward Diener (eldiener_at_[hidden])

I am curious as to why the design of Boost Build has the notation for
properties on a jamfile as <someFeature>someValue instead of
someFeature=someValue, especially as the latter is used on the bjam
command line ?
