CVS head and Boost 1.33.1

A recent change to stage.jam has removed the
add-variant-and-compiler
rule, which is used by jamfile of boost 1.33.1. Is it
possible to keep
this rule, perhaps written using the new tagging rules,
because it is
not possible to use boost 1.33.1 without it?

Yes the add-variant-and-compiler was removed... As for the
rest you lost 
me. The head code is 1.35. What do you mean by 1.33.1 and
head?

Sorry if I was not clear - I'm using bjam for all projects,
and most
of them need boost 1.33.1. Due to the removal of the
add-variant-and-compiler rule, the projects do not build,
and bjam
reports an error in boost's Jamfile.v2 that the required
rule is
missing. I am not using CVS head of boost, but only of
Boost.Build and
bjam.

OK, I think I understand now. You changed the
BOOST_BUILD_PATH, or the 
boost-build.jam to use the current BBv2 to build with the
Jamfile.v2 
files that come with Boost 1.33.1.

Well I'm not fond of adding the add-variant-and-compiler
back because it 
means some code duplication that is prone to errors. Would
it be 
possible for you to replace the Jamfile.v2 from 1.33.1 with
the one from 
HEAD (and adjusting the version number)? -- Or the one from
the 1.34 branch.

  Actually, I just replaced the tools/build directory inside
a boost
1.33.1 installation with the one from CVS, and I keep it
updated.
BOOST_ROOT environment variable is set to point to the boost
1.33.1
installation directory.

  You are right - this does work. The produced library names
have 1.35
version signature, but this is fine with me.
