Subject: [Boost-build] bjam - windows dependency check

Hi,
Assume the following:
foo.c
...
#if !defined(_WIN32)
#include "some_linux_file.h"
#endif
...
If I build it on Windows, MSVC doesn't even look into the header file (or what there is) between the above #if and #endif because the #if evaluates to false.
My observation with bjam is that it does.
After foo.c is built, if I touch "some_linux_file.h" and issue 'bjam -n', bjam says foo.c needs to be built.
Could somebody confirm if it's designed like that?
Thanks,
Anant
