FWIW, here's what I ended up having to do to get como working:

using como : 4.3.3 : 
"call \"c:/program files/microsoft visual studio .net 2003/vc7/Bin/vcvars32\" > nul
set COMO_MS_INCLUDE=\"c:/program files/microsoft visual studio .net 2003/vc7/include\"
set LIB=c:/tools/como433/libcomo;%LIB%
set PATH=c:/tools/como433/bin;%PATH%
set COMO_BASE=c:/tools/como433
"como.exe
;

Ick! And I still get:

warning: toolset como-win initialization: 
warning: can't find user-provided command 'call "c:/program files/microsoft visual studio .net 2003/vc7/Bin/vcvars32" > nul

from BBv2.
