V2: msvc-6 problem with static build

Hello,

I tried building the example in build/v2/example/libraries.
The normal build works fine. I got quite impressed by the fact that 
the lib is rebuild (if changed) when bjam is run in the app 
directory. (yes, i'm new with bjam)

BUT, when I try to link static I get:

$ bjam link=static

...updating 14 targets...

I tried it with both msvc-6 and msvc-7.1 (from both bash and cmd)
My bjam is build as Boost.Jam Version 3.1.9. OS=CYGWIN.
I also noticed # include is not found by the dependency scan.
