Thanks for the hint.  I have tried it out with the Boost.Buildv2 that
ships with 1.33.0 but unfortunately there were some problems:

1) examples/echo doesn't build at all

2) boost toplevel doesn't build because of an issue in iostreams

3) boost/libs/signals builds only a single subvariant and I couldn't
   figure out how to build all the others

4) contrary to v1 when I build in a subproject (like signals) v2 seems
   to always complain about missing python, ICU etc.

Unless these are grave failures on my part (I've followed the
documentation on boost.org which seems to be a bit outdated) I will
presumably stay with v1 and more so because Rene Rivera provided me
the clue I needed to get going.

cheers,

aa
