Thanks. I'm happy now ;).

I've got another question though. Is there another target type 
that's similar to "run", but that always displays its output? If 
not, could we add yet another argument definition to make "run" 
behave this way? I'm asking, because it would be nice to have a 
target that behaves this way for the various "example" programs I 
provide in Boost.Threads. These aren't tests, so users would want 
to always see the generated output. Having Jam run the examples is 
handy because Jam takes care of setting the path for locating the 
DLL files needed by the executables.

This would be a low priority request, but I'd sure like to have 
something like this :).
