#4111 new Feature Requests
Support for windmc tool

Description
It would be good if Boost.Build recognized the windmc tool that is available for MinGW and Cygwin toolsets. The documentation mentions[1] the mc-compiler feature that is supposed to alleviate the problem, but apparently this option doesn't work.

The patch I attached does not detect the current toolset and thus does not automatically select the right message compiler for MinGW and Cygwin. I couldn't figure out how to do that.

It seems that even after four (4) years this patch still not included??
It seems that it is still needed:http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_55_0/libs/log/doc/html/log/installation.html
Why does Boost.Build does not recognize MinGW windmc tool, why the mc-compile feature (http://www.boost.org/doc/tools/build/doc/html/bbv2/reference/tools.html) still not working and why this patch is not implemented at least it is not in Boost 1.55.
A patch to enable mc-compiler feature.
