Hello

I cannot get b2 to use the cray compiler when compiling boost 1.52.0:

craycc -V
Cray C : Version 8.1.1  Tue Nov 13, 2012  09:15:01

crayc++ -V
Cray C++ : Version 8.1.1  Tue Nov 13, 2012  09:15:10

which crayc++
/opt/cray/xt-asyncpe/5.15/bin/crayc++

hence I have
using cray : : /opt/cray/xt-asyncpe/5.15/bin/crayc++ ;
in ./tools/build/v2/user-config.jam

but b2 still prints the following:

Building the Boost C++ Libraries.

How can I make b2 use the cray compiler? Or even better how can make 
sure that b2 uses this executable (and assumes that the compiler is 
crayc++) /opt/cray/xt-asyncpe/5.15/bin/CC ? Putting anything after using 
cray in user-config.jam doesn't seem to have any effect.
Thanks.
