Success!!! 

After this was merged:
https://github.com/boostorg/build/pull/401

I'm getting successful builds on develop :-)

C:\Python27-32\python.exe run.py --runner=teeks99-msvc142rc --toolset=msvc-14.2 --bjam-options="-j4 address-model=64" --tag=develop

user-config.jam
using msvc : 14.2 ;

using python
: 2.7 # version
: C:\\Python27-32\\python.exe # Interperter/path to dir
: C:\\Python27-32\\include # includes
: C:\\Python27-32\\libs # libs
: <address-model>32 <address-model> # conditions

using python

Now we need to get the tests to all cycle, then merge to master? Can this make 1.70?

Is this toolset even supported?

As I explained in https://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2019/02/245143.php,
I had to 'fake' it as 14.1 in project-config.jam:

using msvc : 14.1 : "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft Visual
Studio\\2019\\Preview\\VC\\Tools\\MSVC\\14.20.27323\\bin\\HostX64\\x64\\cl.exe"

I was able to get the regression tests to run using this workaround in user-config.jam. 

Here's what the config_info is:

I'm disappointed that we can't have general support for future versions of msvc. We don't seem to have this problem with pre-release versions of GCC/Clang.
