  * milestone:  Boost.Jam 3.1.17 => To Be Determined

Comment:

 Using "%~1" has the drawback of not working on older CMD shells. And the
 general task of removing quotes around arguments, i.e. on variables in
 general, on CMD is fraught with painfully version specific and long code.
 Not sure how to resolve this problem.

 As for the build.jam patch, I made an equivalent change that solves the
 problem for all args when running the commands.
