Compiler output within new vim window

Is anyone aware of any plugins or capabilities that would allow me to run bjam from with vim and then write the result to a separate window? I've been looking at the SimpleCompile plugin (http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=3115) but can't see who to adapt it.

A general solution (i.e. not bjam-specific): First, configure Vim to run bjam for the :make command:

:set makeprg=bjam

Then, simply run make and show the output in a quickfix window:

:make | copen

Alternatively, you can also simply read the output of an external command into the current buffer:

:r !bjam

Combine this with creating a new window via :new and you can easily read the output of an external command into a new window:

:new | r !bjam
