generators_test.py now work for me on Win2000/MinGW. Can you try test_all.py
with a fresh checkout? I guess we don't have much work left to make the others
pass, if we figure out why binaries are modified instead of beeing touched
(see my other post).

The current version of toolset.jam contains some problems. I've fixed a couple
of syntax errors, but tests are still failing for me on Linux. Hopefull you'll
soon be able to test on windows. Meanwhile, I'll be using revision 1.3 locally.
