For those reasons, Rene and I have decided that "bjam.exe" should go. We're thinking about naming the executable simply "build.exe", since no other build tool bothered to take it.
The name bjam is no doubt hard-coded in many build scripts and renaming it will create a lot of unnecessary bugs.
Good point. If you do change the name, how about contracting to "bam", as in "wham bam" I guess, the only difficulty I see is that there appears to be a virus of that name.... but then there are viruses of almost every name already... John.
