do you think that documentation on 
http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/visualc/usingpsdk/ could be 
updated to mention this file? We could then add reference there from
http://www.boost.org/tools/build/v1/vc-8_0-tools.html . This info would 
be relevant to anyone wishing to build Win32 apps from the command line, 
not only boost users.

We could update toolset description to mention it.
