Here's a quite dirty solution that I found. I had to replace all 
occurences of <cxxflags> in my Jamfiles to <cflags>, and add another 
<cflags>/TP. It results in MSVC warning that -TC is being overridden 
with /TP, but it works. Do you see a cleaner solution, to somehow 
just tell Bjam to use c++ action for *.c and be done with it?
