[Boost-build] Empty actions on Windows

Rene,
I think this question is mostly for you. I've just run 
Boost.Build tests, using SVN version of both Boost.Build
and Boost.Jam. While results are mostly fine, the very
first test, unit_tests.py, fails, and few other tests
for jam functionality fails.

The unit_tests.py fails due to this part of v2/test/test.jam:

        actions nothing { }
        nothing all ;

Apparently, on windows bjam tries to execute the 'nothing'
action, and fails, and returns 1 as error status. Any
ideas why? I think when you was running tests a couple
weeks ago, there were not such problems -- maybe it's some
recent change in bjam's behaviour?
