  Sorry for barging into this discussion, but there is another issue I
believe should be addressed, possibly after 1.34. This is an issue
with all third-party libraries for which there is support in
Boost.Build, but it has been nagging me with Qt only for now.

  When projects which use the same third-party library are compiled
with different compilers, the library compiled with the same compiler
should be used. Currently, there is no way to specify, for example:
---
  using qt4 : C:/Qt4/VC8 : <toolset>msvc-8 ;
  using qt4 : C:/Qt4/VC6 : <toolset>msvc-6 ;
---
  And have the appropriate settings used when projects are compiled
with MSVC8 and MSVC6 respectively.
