Hi, Beman!
I've found that the problem was already fixed on trunk and 1.35
release candidate
(see http://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/browser/tags/VERSION_1_35_0_RC1/libs/filesystem/build/Jamfile.v2)
, so there is no need
for submitting ticket or patch I guess.
Thanks for feedback and sorry for the noise.
Sasha
