There's an issue with spaces in the pathname for MSVC.

The easiest thing to do is to invoke d:\programme\microsoft\bin\vcvars32.bat
before invoking Jam.

After some inspection I see that although msvc-tools.jam is trying to handle
this properly, it still gets some things wrong. Sorry I don't have time to
fix it right now, but I'm sure some other booster who uses MSVC can help you
out if you still have problems.

Regards,
Dave
