Oh, good :-)

For CW, you need to specify the toolset as "cw-9_4". For gcc/cygwin 
you'll need to create a toolset named "gcc-3_3_3-cygwin-tools.jam" that 
just "extend gcc ;", like the cw-x-tool.jam files.

This is because of the version of Python used. Python is not consistent 
between versions on what it reports the platform to be.

Incremental runs tend to be very short in comparison. That is, unless 
some fundamental file changes, like one of the config headers for example.

Probably a good idea to drop it.
