There's an intent (fostered by myself - and probably others before me) to 
re-implement the build monitor as a debugger that attaches to bjam and all 
of it's child processes.  This will allow it to intervene in JIT debugger 
activation (which won't happen) and other hard to intercept errors like 
missing DLL dependencies.

So far, I haven't been able to get that project off the ground - too many 
other demands on my time at the moment.  You're welcome to get the project 
started (or finished!) or contribute to the discussion in any way.
