Comment (by hicham@…):

 I have attempted to build boost.mpi against openmpi 1.4.3 on win32/64

 the mpi.jam contains the following unix shell-specific code bit:

 # Determine if it is safe to execute the given shell command by trying
 # to execute it and determining whether the exit code is zero or
 # not. Returns true for an exit code of zero, false otherwise.
 local rule safe-shell-command ( cmdline )
 {
   local result = [ SHELL "$(cmdline) > /dev/null 2>/dev/null; if [ "$?"
 -eq "0" ]; then echo SSCOK; fi" ] ;
   return [ MATCH ".*(SSCOK).*" : $(result) ] ;
 }

 this doesn't work on windows and is the reason of bjam failing. I don't
 have a patch as I'm not conversant in windows cmd.exe either.

 a fix would be appreciated, rds,
