This happens when I try it:

C:\src\boost_1_25_0>jam -ftools\build\allyourbase.jam -sTOOLS="msvc" -
sBUILD="<include>%STL_INCLUDE%" -a

It works if I replace BOOST_ROOT with ../../.. or if I do set 
BOOST_ROOT manually.

This is the error I get without including <string> 
in "exceptions.hpp":

Looks like basic_string is only fwd declared at his point.
