   Hi.

   I committed an __ACTION_RULE__ fix making it take its final parameter 
as a list of output lines instead of a single output string. This allows 
Jam code using this output to work correctly independently of what 
newline character combinations are in use. This was causing problems 
with Boost Build unit tests which can now be updated to pass.

   Changeset: http://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/changeset/42629

Consequences:
   * Final __ACTION_RULE__ rule parameter has changed from output ? to 
output-lines *.
   * Updated corresponding Jam documentation.
   * Updated the all related Boost Build code.

   No code on the Boost trunk uses this rule except for Boost Build itself.

   With this change existing tests checking their action output can not 
be easily modified to not depend on what level of regular output is 
being used by Boost Build/Jam. Adding a new debug level (between current 
0 and 1) could I guess be useful but is not needed any more.

   Comments welcome.

   Best regards,
