Thank you! I'll then continue with getting test result in shape on Linux and 
will announce when wider testing is needed.

Yes ;-) Luckily, that's a separate issue.

While we're at it, can you look into Boost.Build V2 tests that you used to 
run? I attach a prior email describing the problems I see.

Thanks!

Hi Victor,
I'm looking at ftp://rudbek.com/pub/boost/bjamv2.log, 
and it seems like it's out of date (2005-09-17) , and there are some 
configuration problems in the test result
   - even for msvc-7.1 tests, gcc is used. Maybe, "msvc-7.1" is not
     passed to the "test_all.py" script?
   - V2 reports that no toolsets are configured, which suggests you
     probably have nothing in your user-config.jam

If you have a bit of time to revive the tests, that would be great. I'm hoping 
to have a new release, and testing on primary platform such as msvc is very 
desirable.

Thanks,
Volodya
