 As reported by Vladimir Prus, the -n option does not work properly.
 Details can be seen from the e-mail on the boost-build list. Search for
 subject: "-n option broken".

 Additional observation: the switch -o file does onyl create empty files.

 Copy of the original post:

 Rene,
 when I run "bjam -n" in the attached project,
 where "bjam" is built from SVN HEAD,
 I get:

         ...found 9 targets...
         ...updating 5 targets...
         ...updated 5 targets..

 When bjam is some earlier version (3.1.14), I get many
 interesting command lines.

 So, it seems current bjam has "-n" broken. Any chance
 this can be fixed?

 Thanks,
 Volodya
