Good that you are back and obviously inexplicably keen to work!

Did you take a look at at my 'msvc Patch'? I have re-attched it to make things
easier.

The comments from the original posting were:
> I have been testing 'msvc.jam'. Previously I was using me own custom version
> as I usually cross compile. It seems to me the 'action archive' as defined
> for CYGWIN is broken. Has anyone recently created a static library with it?
>
> It results in a command line with all the object files with @ prepended.
> I have attached a patch. This also simplifies the common actions and rules
> between the NT and CYGWIN branches.
>
> I have not directly testes this under NT so I would appreciate any feedback!

All the best,

Michael
