Hi,

I'm using Boost on Linux however for various reasons I need to rebuild
parts of it occasionally. For other C/C++-based tools that are built
with autoconf/automake, I've started to use ccache
(http://ccache.samba.org/) to speed up recompilation. This is done
simply by setting the CC / CXX environment variables to "ccache gcc" /
"ccache g++" respectively. I have had a look through the Jam
documentation but I can't see an easy way to achieve the same thing when
building the Boost distribution. The closest I came was a bit on the
trac that simply said I can add a new toolset, but had no real
instructions as to how.

Thanks for any help!
