Hmm, looking at our user-config.jam, may be I misunderstood what the
Boost.Build docs are saying here (http://tinyurl.com/hdb48):

  The invocation-command parameter is the command that must be
  executed to run the compiler. This parameter can usually be omitted
  if the compiler executable

    * has its "usual name" and is in the PATH, or
    * was installed in a standard "installation directory", or
    * can be found through a global mechanism like the Windows registry.

and omitting the invocation-command for versioned toolsets along the
following lines is not supported:

    using msvc : 6.5 ;
    using msvc : 7.0 ;
    using msvc : 7.1 ;

Is that the case?

I've just kicked in a v2 run on a separate machine; the results should
appear online within 24 hours under "metacomm-v2".
