It is when the toolset condition is being autodetected.

Except that the above is not the first toolset in my
user-config:

====
import toolset : using ;

path-constant DEVELOPMENT : C:/Development ;

using msvc : all ;

using gcc : : C:/MinGW/bin/g++.exe ;
====

So it's some toolset the test program decides it should use.
As making 
the test system figure out the toolset we can easily support
a 
"--show-tools" option and have the test system
read in the result.

No, it looks it's the auto-detected version of 'gcc'

Perphaps, I'm not sure how that will mix with that
auto-detection of gcc 
version -- we need to have the auto-detected version
printed.

 Now
how is it "auto-detecting" "gcc" as the
toolset?

I just added a "--show-configuration" option:

=== bjam --v2 -n --show-configuration nothing
notice: <toolset>msvc-8.0
notice: <toolset>msvc-7.1
notice: <toolset>gcc-3.4.5-mingw_special
notice:
<toolset>gcc-3.4.5~mingw~stlport50-mingw_special
notice:
<toolset>gcc-3.4.5~mingw~stlport51-mingw_special
===

Perhaps just making the tests do a regex comparison would be
more 
useful, or easier to implement?

I went ahead and implemented the use of glob pattern
matching for the 
toolset names and a looser matching for file content. Now
most of the 
tests for Windows pass.
