* build/generators.jam
(generator.generated-targets): Comment the desired semantics.
* util/utility.jam
(basename): Take the part till the last dot, not the first.

as the first elements of result. Those usage requirements will be combined
with explicitly specified for the main target.
This is yet another step towards making 'main target classes' unnecessary.
* build/generators.jam
(try-one-generator): Check if generator returned usage requirements or not.
(construct): Make sure first element of result is always property set.
(many other methods): Induced changes
* tools/builtin.jam
(exe-target-class, lib-target-class): Remove.
(linking-generator, seached-lib-generator): Compute usage requirements.
(archiving-generator): New class

'rank' for each viable generator, we use explicit information of the
form 'generator A is better than generator B', which is provided by
the user. The obvious goal is to fix 'custom_generator' failure on
msvc, but generally, I'm fixing BB76 -- which says that current generators
selection is very broken.

* boost_build_v2.html: Document new option.
* new/generators.jam (find-viable-generators): Revert part of Dave's
commit, essentially disabling finding base type generators.
This part breaks a test, and need to be thinked about.
* new/errors.jam: Handle "--no-error-backtrace" option.
* test/project_test4.py: Adjust for new error syntax.

- Got rid of vectors of vectors in generators code. That was not only slow, it
was also troublesome.
- Started work on transformation caching. Works but needs review/cleanup.
[SVN r15465]
prevents complining the same source twice with the same properties.
Also allow generators to change source names using patterns.
* new/generators.jam (generator): Accept name patterns together with
target types.
(generator.generated-targets): Use name patterns. Transform generated
targets with 'virtual-targets.register', to eliminate duplicate
virtual targets.
