Hi Volodya,

As we discussed earlier on IRC, I need $ORIGIN to make my link=shared 
binaries portable. But <dll-path>'$(ORIGIN)' isn't working because the 
gcc toolset adds double quotes which breaks ld's understanding of the 
keyword. So instead of:
-Wl,-R -Wl,'$ORIGIN'
I get:
-Wl,-R -Wl,"'$ORIGIN'"

Technically, it does not breaks ld's understanding. Try typing

	echo "'$ORIGIN'"

in your shell -- it will come out empty. Now, I have no clue why shell
behaves like this.

I've applied a band-aid:

	https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/changeset/59765

The band-aid works. <dll-path>'$ORIGIN' now works as expected. You might want to take out the "echo "Yeah"" statement you left in there though. :)

Thanks!
Matt
