Milestone:  To Be Determined           |   Component:  build        
  Version:  Boost 1.45.0               |    Severity:  Problem      
 Keywords:  MPI mpi.jam build Windows  |  
---------------------------------------+------------------------------------
 Autodetection/Build of MPI fails on non-English systems because mpi.jam
 looks for the Microsoft Compute Cluster Package only in "C:\Program
 Files", but this folder has different names on non-English systems (e.g.
 "C:\Programme" on my German system).
 Details are in the mail list thread on build-boost from 2011-01-17
 http://lists.boost.org/boost-build/2011/01/24512.php.


 Suggested fix is to use an environment variable for the program folder, as
 suggested by Moritz Hassert in the above mentioned thread. I am just not
 technically knowledgable enough concerning the Windows OS, the intended
 locations for the Compute Pack on different systems (32 bit, 64 bit etc.)
 and the patching process; else I would submit a patch by myself.
