* 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).

* build/toolset.jam (inherit-generator): New parameter 'generators-to-ignore'.
* tools/gcc.jam: Ignore *link* generators when inheriting. Declare the
gcc specific generator.
* test/gcc_runtime.py: Test that <link-runtime>static is correctly handled.
The gcc specific generator is necessary exactly for that reason.
