I have verified this. Thanks for clarifying the behaviour.

However... I am working on the no vcvars.bat patch for msvc.jam and in 
the init()/configure-really() method, I have:

echo [ path.join $(root) ../bar2 ] ;

that gives "bar2", not ".../Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003/bar2" as 
would be expected. Nor does:

echo [ path.join "$(root)" "../bar2" ] ;

give the expected result :(.

I am running from CYGWIN/bash, yes. (I *always* run from CYGWIN/bash :)).
