[Boost-build] howto define my own toolset

Hello,

I'm afraid this is a pretty basic question, but as I couldn't find any
answer online, I'm asking here:

What is the canonical way to define my own toolset variant, including
command-line options ?

Specifically, I'd like to set up my environment so I can build boost
with some non-default compiler options (notably, "--std=c++11").

I know I have to add a line of the form "using gcc ..... ;" to my
user-config.jam file, but I'm not sure about the exact incantation I need.

(That might be a useful addition to the FAQ in
http://www.boost.org/build/doc/html/index.html)

Thanks,
         Stefan
