DLL building broken under Windows

It appears that building DLLs under Windows is broken, at least for Borland 
C++. I attempted a build with:

jam -sTOOLS=borland

and received an argument error when trying to call dll-files (look down for 
the error text). The problem seems to stem from the fact that SUFDLL has both 
'.dll' and '.lib' suffixes, but I don't pretend to understand how DLLs work 
under Windows. Everything works properly under Linux.

This error is with the latest (as of ~4:00pm EST) sources from CVS.
