# Configurations
#
# The following class helps to manage toolset configurations. Each configuration
# has a unique ID and one or more parameters. A typical example of a unique ID
# is a condition generated by 'common.check-init-parameters' rule. Other kinds
# of IDs can be used. Parameters may include any details about the configuration
# like 'command', 'path', etc.
#
# A toolset configuration may be in one of the following states:
#
#   - registered
#       Configuration has been registered (e.g. explicitly or by auto-detection
#       code) but has not yet been marked as used, i.e. 'toolset.using' rule has
#       not yet been called for it.
#   - used
#       Once called 'toolset.using' rule marks the configuration as 'used'.
#
# The main difference between the states above is that while a configuration is
# 'registered' its options can be freely changed. This is useful in particular
# for autodetection code - all detected configurations may be safely overwritten
# by user code.
