Any ideas on how I can convince that build to use msvc-14.3 while keeping
msvc-10.0 in my user-config.jam? I'm guessing there is some auto-picking
logic at play that I might be able to control? I'd like to keep still
testing with that version of visual studio a bit longer, thus I don't want
to completely get rid of it.

Thanks,
