Hi,

For months, I've been pinging the boost-build list about bootstrap.sh being completely broken for MinGW, with no response.

As the 1.55.0 branch is closing in just a week, it would be wonderful if somebody could look at and apply my two patches that are ready to go: http://lists.boost.org/boost-build/2013/10/27025.php

Note that they will fix this: https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/8762

If the maintainers are unresponsive to something like this it would seem to argue for giving up on Boost.Build ASAP. -- Dave Abrahams
