Hey Rene,

For some reason the VeecoFTC regression tester that we run on trunk for 
testing Windows Mobile appears to have broken after the addition of 
Predef.  I don't have any good explanation for why this would be, but 
the end of the bjam.log now looks like this:

I feel like I have encountered and resolved an issue like this in the 
past, but can't seem to remember what triggers this error.  Any 
thoughts? (or any diagnostics that I should turn on to check for the 
problem?)

Thanks,
