2164,locate_root wrong under CygWin,anonymous,Beman Dawes,"When running the regression tests under cygwin, I get:

locate_root: c:/tmp/boost_rt/boost/status/cygdrive/C/tmp/boost_rt/results

(After this it can't find any files.)

CygWin maps Win32 to unix file names as such:
  cygwin: /cygdrive/C/tmp/boost_rt
  Win32:  C:/tmp/boost_rt

As you can see from locate_root above, bjam has blended both, yielding an invalid directory under either.

This occurs even when I specify to run.py:
  --bjam-options=""--locate-root=/cygdrive/C/tmp/boost_rt/results""

I get this output (showing --locate-root being properly propagated):
