Sorry for that... I forgot to commit check-jam-patches.jam, which does not 
include this test. When mergning expand.c I have decided that "--2" is too 
confusing and omitted it? Do we need it, especially as we "-2" means nothing 
in Perforce Jam, and means "second element from the end" in Boost.Jam?
