It is only when zlib or bzip2 are built from sources that this jamfile 
issue shows up.  If I remember correctly, I think that in the past the 
Rudbek Associates test system was using already-built LIB or DLL files 
for zlib and bzip2.  I believe that when Victor resurrected the test 
system a month or so ago, it got configured to built zlib and bzip2 from 
sources instead.  Then these new regressions started showing up.  That's 
my theory at least...
