I've just started implementing a debugger for Boost.Build
in the debug branch.  Here's a sample session (I've
trimmed the output down quite a bit).  Thoughts?

(b2db) print $(version)

The Boost C++ Libraries were successfully built!

The following directory should be added to compiler include paths:

    C:\Users\Steven\Documents\boost\boost-git

The following directory should be added to linker library paths:

    C:\Users\Steven\Documents\boost\boost-git\stage\lib

Child 3544 exited with status 0
