   Thanks for the vote of confidence... but since you put it like that I 
went back - reviewed & simplified the patch and prepared Boost Jam tests 
for it (which actually cause 3.1.16 Boost Jam to crash :-)))).

   Now the implementation for the NORMALIZE_PATH rule should be much 
simpler and clearer. Also the new path.make-NT rule and path.join 
implementation is now simpler with the new Boost Jam.

   OK... patch committed.

   Changeset link: http://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/changeset/45158

   And now anyone using any older development (3.1.17) Boost Jam build 
needs to recompile it. :-) I'll post a message about this to the 
development group as well...

   Best regards,
