That was the clue I needed - that there are files in ./modules.  I was able
to build the bootstrap jam by hand.  Thanks.

But now when I try to build jam using the bootstrap jam, I get the errors
shown below.  I can't figure out the "don't know how to make modules/*.c"
errors.  The errors that look like:

        $ "cc" 	/OBJECT=[.bin_vms] ...

seem to come about because jam insists on wrapping the cc with quotes.  Is
there some reason it is doing that, or a way to get it to stop?

Note that in the example below, I'm using the gnv bash shell on VMS (a Gnu
Unix emulation environment for VMS).  But I get the same errors if I use the
native VMS shell.

Any help will be appreciated.
