[Boost-build] Boost Build tests not working.

   Hi.

   I wanted to prepare some tests to demonstrate some potential Boost 
Build bugs before reporting them but got scared that the tests were not 
getting used/maintained anyway.

   Does anyone know why many Boost Build tests fail when I run them on 
Windows. Are they generally not used on Windows or am I doing something 
incorrectly.

   I tried running the latest (22.12.2007.) nightly build tests as well 
as those from the milestone 12 release and both show many failures. I 
ran the tests by running 'python.exe test_all.py msvc' from the test folder.

   I'll write down my notes on the Boost Build testing in a separate 
post. This was just a sanity check to make sure I do not waste my or 
anyone else's time.

   Many thanks.

   Best regards,
     Jurko Gospodnetiæ
