Hmm, not sure yet what this means for regression testing on
cygwin/mingw.

Does this mean, that invoking bjam with toolset=gcc from CMD.EXE
(where gcc is the cygwin or more correctly: cygming version) will now
build against the MSVC.DLL's by default? (I.e. pass on the -mno-cygwin
switch to the compile and link stages).

Hmm, this would mean I should run my regression setup unaltered...?
