It worked for me both from the command line (-sJAMSHELL=%) and putting it in
Jambase (I'm writing a completely custom Jambase for our specific needs).
I'm using this version of Jam:
Boost.Jam Version 3.1.6. OS=NT.
Copyright 1993-2002 Christopher Seiwald and Perforce Software, Inc.
Copyright 2001 David Turner.
Copyright 2001-2002 David Abrahams.
Which seems newer than the latest release on SourceForge. Someone else here
downloaded it so I don't know if they got it from cvs or something. However
I discovered the feature by looking at the source code to version 3.1.4
which I did download so I'd have thought it would work in that too.
Good luck.....
Mark.

Mark,
thanks for the tip but I can't make it work: it doesn't even seem to reach
execnt.c...
I tried to set the variable in the environment, in the command-line and in
the Jamfile and neither has worked.
Any help would be much appreciated,
Pedro

I use JAMSHELL=% which makes jam execute the command directly without a
shell and has no command line length limit. Of course it does mean that you
can't use shell features like redirection and pipes, but it sounds like
you're just doing a normal compile so you wouldn't need them anyway.
Mark.
