3564	bjam creates wrong library name when toolset choice is invalid	bielow@…	Vladimir Prus	"Hi,

I just called boost using
""bjam address-model=64 install --with-math link=static toolset=msvc-9 variant=debug"" which creates libraries without any VC version number:
--> libboost_math_tr1l-vc-mt-gd-1_40.lib
which should be
--> libboost_math_tr1l-vc90-mt-gd-1_40.lib

This leads to auto-linking errors.
The documentation at multiple points simply states that appending the MSVC version number to the toolset will work, however the correct syntax for the call is:
""toolset=msvc-9.0"" and not ""toolset=msvc-9""
The documentation for valid numbers is somewhat hidden as well (http://www.boost.org/boost-build2/doc/html/bbv2/reference/tools.html#bbv2.reference.tools.compiler.msvc). At least the toolset docu (http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_40_0/more/getting_started/windows.html#identify-your-toolset) could use the above link!

So, is it possible to introduce white-lists for the toolset options to avoid this kind of error?!
