Did all three, but I'm still mystified. The -d+5 output contained:
<---------- part of d+5 out -------------------

which seems to indicate that test/Jamfile:13 was executed, but the xqt-exe-action was changed to:
<---------- xqt-exe-action ------------------
{
echo action output is $(2)
}

and I didn't see "action output is main.exe" as part of output as I'd expected.

The output from -d+12 showed everything was stable and -d+2 just showed
"main.out main.exe"

TIA again.
