Thanks for the catch, and the patch. There's only one problem. The 
NORMALIZE_PATH works only on paths in partly normalized form. I.e. the path
should use "/" as separator. So, your change will fix only unix, but not 
windows. I've changed 

local whereami = [ NORMALIZE_PATH $(.bootstrap-file:D) ] ;

to

local whereami = [ NORMALIZE_PATH $(.bootstrap-file:DT) ] ;

and it works on windows too. (The 'T' modifier converts all backslashes to 
forward slashes).

The change is comitted. Thanks!
