allyourbase not correct for MinGW? (newbie)

Hi,

I think some of the file extension variables in tools/build/allyourbase.jam
are incorrectly set for MinGW.

I had to change the following lines in 'if $(NT) {}' from

SUFLIB ?= .lib ;
SUFOBJ ?= .obj ;
SUFDLL ?= .dll .lib ;

to

SUFLIB ?= .a ;
SUFOBJ ?= .o ;
SUFDLL ?= .dll .a ;

I did this by checking for mingw in TOOLS. I presume there is a better way?

Thanks for any help.
