Fix build on windows

After digging into mpi.jam I found what is the root of the problem.

# Determine if it is safe to execute the given shell command by trying
# to execute it and determining whether the exit code is zero or
# not. Returns true for an exit code of zero, false otherwise.
local rule safe-shell-command ( cmdline )
{
  local result = [ SHELL "$(cmdline) > /dev/null 2>/dev/null; if [ "$?" -eq "0" ]; then echo SSCOK; fi" ] ;
  return [ MATCH ".*(SSCOK).*" : $(result) ] ;
}

It silently always return false on windows, because this is not correct cmd.exe command. I have attached patch that made windows specific workaround.
