Hi,
I have been trying to use the most recent version of the nightly build
for the last week or so and all to no avail. the problem seems to lie in
'util/path.jam'

If I copy util/path.jam from version 2.0-m10 then this problem dissappears.

Could some one who understands what I'm on about please fix it:)

Steps:
1. download nightly build
2. unzip and configure toolset
3. build bjam.exe
4. cd example/hello and execute bjam produces:

shite 31>cd example/hello
shite 33>bjam
