Comment (by fatman@…):

 Thanks Jim, most interesting, although I find the huge tables of test
 results a bit overwhelming. Some bedtime reading there for sure.

 In reference to your comment in the patches thread that bootstrap.bat
 needs hacking to work with gcc, I found I was able to build a native
 bjam.exe by running tools/jam/build.bat (path?) myself, and IIRC I just
 had to set the toolchain to gcc in build.bat. Hope that's of use to you.
