Description
bootstrapping the current boost-build (svn rev. 71622) on windows and executing ./bjam install does not copy the example files to share\boost-build on windows like it does on linux.
The problem is in boost-build/Jamroot: $(e1) the result of "path.glob-tree" contains entries of the form "/T:/foo/bar/boost-build/example/hello/readme.txt". Note the extra "/" at the front. CHECK_IF_FILE does not recognize those paths and therefore nothing is copied.
As Steven Watanabe explained on the mailing list, path.glob-tree uses internal path representation while CHECK_IF_FILE expects a native path.
The attached patch converts the paths using "path.native" before CHECK_IF_FILE is called.
