results in parser abort, so nothing is done. 

Be careful to _always_ insert a space before the semicolon !

Yep ! But the error message could be more verbose. But I think this is a 
jam issue ...

from my user-config.jam

# using stlport : /usr/include/stlport ;

local STLPORT_ROOT = [ modules.peek : STLPORT_ROOT ] ;

using stlport : : $(STLPORT_ROOT)/stlport $(STLPORT_ROOT)/lib ;

You have to "peek" the variable from the environment and then use it.
I hope this works on win32 again.

I hope this help !

Yours,
