Sorry, I don’t have one.

Neither of the following worked for me:

if [ os.name ] != HPUX && [ os.name ] != darwin
if [ os.name ] != HPUX && [ os.name ] != posix

Which was why I ended up simply commenting out the line.

If I understand the ECHO command then os.name appears to be empty on OSX.
In python 2.7.2 (the default on OSX 10.8.2) os.name returns 'posix' (not very helpful) but os.getenv("OSTYPE") returns 'darwin'.

However, I don’t understand boost.build well enough to know how to make use of that info.
[And I’d rather eat sand then waste more time trying to understand it.]
