I'm using vc7.1. I'd like to set JAMSHELL to something
that calls
cmd.exe which can execute a script. We have a very funny way
of
executing commands on a remote host: create a script
runme.cmd in some
folder via a samba share, and rename it to run.cmd. That
triggers a
program running on that host to execute it.
If bjam always produces a .bat file for multi-line actions,
then I'd be
happy to take that batch file as a parameter to my script,
and make that
execute on a remote host. But currently, that seems to be
impossible if
multiline-commands are always executed directly instead of
via JAMSHELL.
Is it difficult to implement this behaviour as a new feature
in bjam?

Best regards,
