It turns out that program_option's example/Jamfile.v2 got stale, and does not work in 1.34.0, at all.

The attached patch fixes that, OK for 1.34.1?

Thanks, applied.

Thanks! However, it seems that when applying this patch, you did not follow the documented procedure for applying patches to release branch. I though the patches are supposed to be applied to HEAD first, and then merged to RC. This patch went straight to RC. Is this intentional? - Volodya

Yes. The rationale comes down to me not having the time to do the merging.

Sorry, I find that to be very wrong. If release manager skips documented procedures, how can we expect anybody to follow them? Further, who is going to sync HEAD and RC_1_34_1 after 1.34.1 is out? Finally, I do have a more-or-less automated way to merge changes, so if you just OK'd the change, I would do that in the proper way. - Volodya
