Description
Report from Pino Toscano (see http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=630652):
Currently bjam does not identify Hurd when using e.g. os.name in jam scripts:
$ bjam -v | head -n1 Boost.Jam Version 3.1.19. OS=UNKNOWN.
The attached patch (which should be suitable for upstream inclusion) sets the correct #define's for Hurd in bjam, adding also the path detection for the bjam test suite.
$ bjam -v | head -n1 Boost.Jam Version 3.1.19. OS=HURD.

Replying to vladimir_prus:
It seems to me that while this patch appears safe, it is of limited utility, because builtin.jam does not know about Hurd either.
Do you mean os.names in both builtin.jam and builtin.py?

It seems to me that while this patch appears safe, it is of limited utility, because builtin.jam does not know about Hurd either. Am I mistaken, or there are more patches in the queue?
