So it looks like the cw.jam is only intended for windows since it uses 
the windows command iterpreter, does it not? I'm a total newbie on the 
innards of bjam etal. So I may be better off creating a codewarrior mcp 
to do the builds of the libs I need, it may be possible to create a jam 
file based on darwin.jam for cw.
