Folks,

For quite a while, we had users complaining about Boost.Build operation in Windows with MinGW.
In particular, bootstrap.bat puts "using mingw ;" into project-config.jam, which does not work
very well. Is that the only thing that needs fixing, or there are other MinGW issues, either
in native or cross configuration?

[The reason I'm asking is that "fix mingw" is now at the top of my queue.]

Thanks,
Volodya
