I deleted the entire boost/bin tree from the source repository
I'm still getting the error in bjam
I have to head off to a client's now. I'll get back to this when I get

I'm going to delete the mingw test from my regression until I can get this 
fixed, I cannot afford to have it stopped waiting for me to click "abort" 
so that the job will finish
