Subject: [Boost-build] single/double quotes

Can anyone point me to some place that explains what the difference between
double and single quotes is? I tried to search through the documentation on
this, but found nothing helpful.
For example, with the following if statement:
if "2.4.1" <= '3.4.1' {
echo "success" ;
} else {
echo "failure" ;
}
always spits out 'success', regardless of what I put inside the single quotes,
while
if "2.4.1" <= "3.4.1" {
echo "success" ;
} else {
echo "failure" ;
}
actually does what is expected.
