    set ""BOOST_JAM_TOOLSET=mingw""

if EXIST ""..\MinGW\bin\gcc.exe"" (
    set ""BOOST_JAM_TOOLSET=mingw""
    set ""BOOST_JAM_TOOLSET_ROOT=..\MinGW\""
    goto :eof)
call :Clear_Error
}}} to catch that mingw installation which lies along with boost in the same parent directory. This is needed in case both of them are run from removable drive or there are different pairs of boost and mingw for testing.",Bugs,new,To Be Determined,Building Boost,Boost 1.52.0,Problem,,,
