Most ofthem relating to running actions in parallel with the -jN option. The end result of thechanges is that running parallel actions is now reliably possible in Unix and Windowsenvironments. Many thanks to Noel for joining the effort, to implement and fix the Unixside of stuff.[list    [li Add support for building bjam with pgi and pathscale toolsets.        -- ['Noel B.]        ]    [li Implement running action commands through pipes (-p option) to fix jumbled        output when using parallel execution with -j option.

The piecemeal archive action        was broken with the default MAXLINE of 102400.  Because the AIX shell uses        some of the 24k default buffer size for its own use, I reduced it to 23k.        -- ['Noel B.]        ]    [li Make use of output dir options of msvc to not polute src dir with compiled files.        -- ['Rene R.]        ]    [li A small fix, so -d+2 will always show the "real" commands being executed        instead of casually the name of a temporary batch file.        -- ['Roland S.]        ]    [li Add test to check 'bjam -n'.        -- ['Rene R.]        ]    [li Add test to check 'bjam -d2'.        -- ['Rene R.]        ]    [li Bring back missing output of -n option.

The order had been changed to        allow searching of alternate user-config.jam files from boost build.
