I've zipped and attached my source. Unfortunately I only have a few 
minutes tonight, so I can't go into a lot of detail at the moment, but 
here are some things you ought to know:

1. It's C# (this was/is my "learn C#" project).
2. It only supports boost.build Milestone 9.1 and bjam 03.01.09. My plan 
is to update it to also include Milestone 10 and beyond, but I haven't 
finished yet. If you run it on another version of boost.build you will 
get a warning, but it will attempt to run. I don't know what the results 
will be like, however.
3. It supports files built with cl.exe, and rc.exe. I am *hoping* to 
automatically generate custom build targets for other tools. This is 
next on my to-do list after finishing the regression test facility.
4. It uses Visual Studio .NET 2003, so you'll need that installed to run 
it - and also to build it :-)
5. It's a console app, and has several command line parameters. It has a 
usage message which describes them, so you should be able to work it out.

You can probably tell that the project wasn't actually intended to go 
public yet, but it will be nice to get a bit of feedback. I just hope it 
works - or at least compiles ;-)

Let me know how you get on.

Jamie.
