At first I felt a bit dirty modifying the .jam file but then I found this mail from the
boost developers who suggest [0] basically that (with a copy of the gcc.jam).

But even more luckily someone in a reply figured out how to overwrite those
values using the user-config.jam file [1]. So I have taken this approach.

I'll submit a patch shortly. Let's see what you think.

Michael
