Well, except for invoking the work arounds for broken compilers.
Whatever the Tandem cross compiler for G06.15 may or may not be, it
definitely is not using the EDG front end.  I have kind of been
assuming that these details were addresses by the toolset definition.
Looks like I should probably start with
<http://www.boost.org/libs/config/config.htm> and then root around in
other toolsets toolset definitions for example jamfiles?
