Hello,

I have tried to send you an email directly without success... So I send 
it again to this mailing list.

In the attached file you will have to modify 'boost-build.jam' file (I 
think you know it better than me).
Then you can launch bjam from lib subdirectory.
If you edit 'lib/jamfile.jam' you can get a working example.
I've tested this example with mingw on MSWindows XP SP3.

Regards,
Mathias
