Dave, thanks for the information.

Does this mean that in the past, compiling using xlC was very difficult, and
needed many hacks to the makefiles and other files?

When 1.34.1 is released, will this result in xlC being added to the list 
of supported toolsets?
(listed in 5.2.2 Identify Your Toolset, section of  the Boost Getting 
Started on Unix Variants doc)

Thanks.  Don
