I tried this morning with Boost.Jam 03.1.17 and i checkout bbv2 from 
trunk/tools/build/v2, but i still have the problem. 

In testing.jam there is this line,  
    local dll-paths = [ feature.get-values <dll-path> : $(properties) ] ;
dll-paths is equal to "../build/bin&&../bin" should i split the string 
here, or this should be done somewhere else ? 

Thanks,

Renaud
