AlternativeSelection

@@ -76 +76 @@
 Here Boost.Build complains because the {{{<threading>single}}} is the default.  If you read ticket #16, you can see that the intended result was that Boost.Build choose the first alternative.  My proposed change would accomplish that with no change in the Jamfile.  We would lose the capability of specifying these alternatives in such a way that the build request {{{bjam toolset=gcc}}} causes an error.

+This is a real-life example that resulted in a long [http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.testing/4202/focus=4266 thread] on the boost-testing mailing list, and was finally resolved only through an intensive back-and-forth over IRC.  I should add that it was this difficult to debug ''despite the fact that I had already written most of this proposal''; I just failed to recognize this as a manifestation of the same problem.
