But alas it is causing my windows builds to fail. From the Vista command 
prompt with a native win32 bjam, I get this when trying to run the 
foreach tests:

...updating 200 targets...
MkDir1-quick-fix-for-unix ..\..\..\bin.v2\libs\foreach
MkDir1-quick-fix-for-unix ..\..\..\bin.v2\libs\foreach\test
A subdirectory or file -p already exists.
Error occurred while processing: -p.

     mkdir -p "..\..\..\bin.v2\libs\foreach\test"

...failed MkDir1-quick-fix-for-unix ..\..\..\bin.v2\libs\foreach\test...

Looks like the patch thinks I'm on a unix system.
