Nope.  [ os..name ] is NT because I use a windows build of bjam.
Actually, now that I'm thinking about this again, a better way is to
use the absolute windows path to the compiler.  When I do use
a cygwin bjam, it finds a different user-config, BTW.

I had similar trouble with como but this setup seems to work:
using como : 4.3.10.1beta2 : \"$(como-bin)/setup\" "&&" como ;
