That's what my googling yielded, but is somewhat vague. How does the IDE 
know bjam is a compiler at all? Where is it being redirected to? 
std::cerr? std::cout? some other stream?

Forthermore, why does this only occur when building boost? I invoke 
quite a few outside applications using build commands within visual 
studio and have not run into it capturing output as errors from them at 
all in the past.

I'd accept that it is ignored, but I'd like to understand it more and am 
still hopeful that I can automate a built including building of boost, 
without it showing up as a failure in the morning.
