Building Boost 1.25.1 (Windows NT/msvc)

I had some difficulties building Boost 1.25.1 with msvc on Windows NT.
If I try to use the ftjam-2.3.5 binaries and try "jam
-ftools/build/allyourbase.jam -sTOOLS=msvc" I get a syntax error:
"tools/build/allyourbase.jam: line 1608: syntax error at keyword ("

Using jam from the boost package seems to work with "jam
-sBOOST_ROOT=. -sTOOLS=msvc", but not if I try to build it with "jam
-ftools/build/allyourbase.jam -sTOOLS=msvc". Then I get:
"new-split.jam: No such file or directory [...]"
Hmm, it's just a bit confusing... :-(

bye, Christof
