OK, I've got hold of Windows 2000 remote console, with MinGw installed.
Got generators_test.py working (with revision 1.3 of toolset.jam).
Looking at dependency_test.py, I see strange thing: around like
18 I touch some header and rebuild. Somehow, the generated binary
is marked at changed, not simple touched. Any ideas why rebuild can change
exe?

Oops. I actually meant calling "pprint" of self.difference. It would show
which files were added/removed/touched.
