Yes, I'm wondering, too. Perhaps it worked because I set the -n 
parameter before. When I did that it seemed that it didn't
build the library...but as I remember know I invoked bjam directly on 
the command line and not John Torjo's build-script which
renames and copies the lib-files to the folder where I looked. Maybe 
that's the reason (I was very busy because I did three
things simultaneously...)
