Well, unfortunately I introduced the globbing to account for
the aspect 
that even if one specifies the toolset as "gcc"
BBv2 now expands that 
internally to the toolset with version, for example
"gcc-4.1.2". But as 
you note the difference in the variant directories is an
even more 
annoying problem.

For the record, I still think that while that was a
nuisance, it was a relatively
minor one -- toolset versions on my system don't change that
often.

Which difference?
