* BoostBuild.Tester & TestCmd.TestCmd interfaces now accept external process parameters as a list of strings, thus avoiding problems with parsing arguments containing spaces.
* Avoided a potential process hang in case an external process being run prints out enough output to fill up the OS's pipe buffer (OS would pause the process until someone read the data from the pipe but the testing framework would not do this until the process in question had terminated).

* tools/stage.jam
(copy-file, relink-file): Add stage's dependency properies to
the staged targets properties, so that <dependency> is copied too.
* test/stage.py: New test.

property, since it's typically used when only headers are used.
* build/virtual-target.jam (subvariant.all-referenced-targets): Return
the names of properties.
* tools/stage.jam (stage-target-class.collect-targets): Filter out <use>
Thanks to Jurgen Hunold for the bug report.

* new/stage.jam
(stage-target-class.construct): Pass the result via
'virtual-target.register'. I wonder if virtual targets should
be create via 'virtual-target.create' which will invoke
'virtual-target.register' internally. Passing via 'register' was forgotten
in many places.
* test/stage.py: New test.
[SVN r18497]
* new/stage.jam:
(stage-target-class): Strip directory names when determining the name of
the target file.
* test/stage.py: Update the test.
[SVN r16892]
introduce separate <link-runtime> feature.
Allow to use the 'lib' rule to declare
libraries that should be searched for.
* builtin.jam: Remove 'shared' features. Introduce
'link' and 'link-runtime'.
(searched-lib-target): New class
(searched-lib-generator): New generator.
(lib-action): New class, derived from 'action'.
Handles instances of 'searched-lib-target' in sources.
Also, moves all libraries from sources to property value,
so that we can repeat them twice in command line.
(lib-generator): Generator which uses 'lib-action'.
* generators.jam: Allow empty list of sources everywhere.
* virtual-target.jam (file-target): Split into
'abstract-file-target' and 'file-target'.
(abstra
(action.actualize-sources): New rule. Allows to
handle the fact that some sources are special,
and should not become $(>) in action body.
[SVN r16573]
* new/common.jam (copy): New rule.
* new/targets.jam (main-target.generate): Use a different
algorith for selecting subvariant. Favour one with
the longest intersection of requirements with build
properties.
* new/virtual-target.jam (virtual-target): Eliminate 'subvariant'
attribute. Use properties of action to for the same
purpose. New methods 'set-path' and 'extra-grist'.
