Subject: [boost] Boost.Build merge?

Folks,
I would have like to merge Boost.Build state from trunk to release branch.
This matter was discussed briefly in
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.devel/180814/
but it didi not lead anywhere, and further it seems to be some confusion
between merging Boost.Jam (which Rene wants) and merging Boost.Build.
To reiterate, I think Boost.Build should be merged because:
- it now supports linux->windows cross compile
- it allows to eliminate configuration warning messages from
libraries that are not built (which requires corresponding
merges for libraries Jamfiles, but it's trivial)
- it fixes a bug where include=/foo/bar could not be specified
on the command line
- it has some other smaller fixes
- I don't see any breakage on trunk tests
