Hi,

Assuming I found the b2 documentation 
(http://www.boost.org/build/doc/html/) I did not find how to implement 
automatic feature detection.
What I need is something like CMake's check_function_exists or 
try_compile and, based on the answer, be able to set a macro definition.

Right now, it seems that stuff like BOOST_NO_CXX11_DELETED_FUNCTIONS is 
defined manually in MPI.config header files which is not really a real 
world option.

Thanks

Alain
