Comment (by Taras Kozlov):

 After digging into mpi.jam I found what is the root of the problem.

 {{{
 # 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) ] ;
 }

 }}}

 It silently always return false on windows, because this is not correct
 cmd.exe command. I have attached patch that made windows specific
 workaround.
