That's great!

Could you please try modifying the file to read:

if [ modules.peek : OS ] in CYGWIN
{
if $toolset = gcc
{
dll-suffix = dll ;
}
else
{
dll-suffix = lib ;
}
}

and see if os=cygwin/toolset=msvc pass this test? The $toolset variable will
be magically replaced by the toolset currently being tested.

Thanks,
Volodya
