Thanks for the information.
Is there a way to build libraries, i.e. boost.python, without bjam?
I suspect that would be more trouble than it's worth.
I suspect that using the brand new versions of GNU autotools would make a lot of sense here. A simple Makefile.am and configure.in may be sufficient to get rid of any inconvenience forever. (I assume that it makes perfect sense for developers to install cygwin or similar sofwtare on win* platforms, Your mileage may vary in this point) Note that this also would ease the configuration for different platforms and compilers through a single top config.h. If You are interested to include it into the boost tree and if You give me some time I volunteer to create a first merely working alpha fileset which gives You an idea how easy the GNU autotools are, once You know how they oughta be used.
