Subject: [Boost-build] Fixup semicolon
From: Vladimir Prus (ghost_at_[hidden])

Right now, bjam does not consider semicolon a separate unless it's
surrounded by spaces, so:
exe a : a.cpp;
is an error. The below patch fixes this. Is this a path worth taking,
and should we extend this to other special characters?
