[Boost-users] Bulding with non-default GCC

bjam may be the best thing since sliced bread (some of the summaries of
capabilities certainly make it sound interesting / valuable), but it's not
a tool I know anything about.  In an ordinary makefile, I could quickly
substitute the right tools (gcc4 instead of gcc, g++4 instead of g++) and
be on my way (without having to bother you).  But I don't immediately see
how to approach that with bjam.  I had hopes it would auto-detect gcc4
since I found that string in a couple of the files in hopeful-looking
contexts, but that has not happened.

So -- how do I build Boost 1.35.0 on my Linux system (Centos 4.6) using a
GCC 4 installed as /usr/bin/gcc4 on my system?

(We're using to_string() in date-time, among others, so I really do have
to compile the library.)
