It's the right place. Sorry it took a while...

Yes, and no. The simple answer is that no one has taken the time to 
write the support for CW on OSX into the build system. Although the 
cw-tools.jam in CVS should be in a better state to add that support, and 
I briefly started to a few months back.

So it would be up to you, to add that support if you really want it. But 
I'd be willing to help out explaining what the cw-tools.jam is doing.
