Thank you both,

I am sure a feature would make more sense (hard to tell, the 
documentation of the tool being what it is, not even sure I actually 
found it) but I alway try to spend as little time as possible on b2 (or 
bjam, I don't know).
I'll go with a command line combination of toolset, cxxflags and 
location-prefix.

Thanks again!

Alain
