Ok, it is easy to make the c++-template-depth feature optional and so
not have any command line option defined in case it is not specified at
all. I already have the change in my sandbox and I already committed and
reverted it back from the main repository.
The problem with this is that it changes the command line options
passed to gcc & qcc compilers when this options is not specified. I
believe this is actually the correct thing to do but I do not think this
is the correct time to implement this change - being so close to the
Boost library 1.36.0 release.
My guess is that someone added this fixed command-line option to the
gcc toolset as a quick-fix for some problem with building Boost
libraries using the default gcc template-depth parameter value (probably
17).
I'll have a look at whether I can implement this change and not
change gcc & qcc compiler command line options in the default case.
