-------------------------------------+--------------------------------------
 bootstrapping the current boost-build (svn rev. 71622) on windows and
 executing ./bjam install does not copy the example files to share\boost-
 build on windows like it does on linux.

 The problem is in boost-build/Jamroot:
 $(e1) the result of "path.glob-tree" contains
 entries of the form "/T:/foo/bar/boost-build/example/hello/readme.txt".
 Note
 the extra "/" at the front.
 CHECK_IF_FILE does not recognize those paths and therefore nothing is
 copied.

 As Steven Watanabe explained on the mailing list, path.glob-tree uses
 internal path representation while CHECK_IF_FILE expects a native path.

 The attached patch converts the paths using "path.native" before
 CHECK_IF_FILE is called.
