[boost] [Getting started] Building with Mingwin/Cygwin without cygwin?

In following up the attached message the cause appears to be a Boost.Build 
issue because specifying:

bjam --toolset=gcc-nocygwin

has no effect on the gcc command line, the generated command lines are 
simply:

"g++"  -ftemplate-depth-128 -O0 -fno-inline -Wall -g -mthreads  -DBOOST_ALL_NO_LIB=1 
 -DBOOST_REGEX_DYN_LINK=1  -I"." -c -o 
"bin.v2\libs\regex\build\gcc-nocygwin\debug\threading-multi\cpp_regex_traits.o" 
"libs\regex\src\..\src\cpp_regex_traits.cpp"

So there's no -mno-cygwin flag and the binaries are actually built for 
cygwin not mingw.

At the same time there is no documented means of building with Mingw in the 
getting started guide: should there be?

Cheers, John.
