I've added it to the regression test suite. The copyright is attached to most 
files (except for boost-build.jam/project-root.jam). I also has to add dummy
methods to a couple of classes and call them in couple of places to
supress 'unused variable' warning from the compiler. You should be
able to go to "tools/build/test" and run "railsys.py" there. The test case
inself is in "railsys" directory.

Fixed now. Thanks.

I believe this is the same bug, which is fixed now. The default-build should 
have been normalized (i.e. "release" should have become <variant>release). 
Failure to do so caused all kinds of problems.

Could you verify that these bugs go away after update?

Thanks,
