This comment represents the aggregate changes merged from the
bbv2python branch.

gcc.jam: build and use import libraries on Cygwin and Windows, but

accept DLL-only linking with prebuilt DLLs.

builtin.jam: fix default-host-os so that <target-os> actually becomes

a functional feature. Improve English in comments

property-set.jam: add str method so we can print them in generator

debugging output.

generators.jam: improved debugging output

build-system.jam: add missing semicolon

python.jam:

• fix cross-NT/CYGWIN build support
• add condition to the build requirements of the python targets

os.jam:

• add the ability to get constants for a particular OS

builtin.jam:

• remove "optional" attribute from host-os
• fix confusing indents

python.jam

---

• Removed comments about known problems because they make no sense.

• Unified MacOS initialization with NT and *nix

• Updated comment describing init behavior

• Support for passing Python command as first argument

• Removed unused get-python-interpreter and get-python-version rules, since they can't work with that interface. Working versions of these will be reinstated for Doug Gregor in the near future.

• When invoking Python to collect configuration info, collect it all at at once.

• When a Cygwin symlink is found by an NT build of bjam, give hints about where to find the file it points at.

• Lots of refactoring

• Make the logic work plausibly even when no Python executable can be found

darwin.jam

---

• Simplified logic for setting up FRAMEWORK_PATH

• Corrected logic for setting up -framework option

feature.jam

---

• Make feature.defaults, feature.attributes, feature.values, and feature.get-values resilient to feature names being passed without grist.

gcc.jam, python.jam, builtin.jam

---

• Include some progress volodya has made toward support for <suppress-import-lib>
