Hi Everyone,

I get the following error when I try building the distribution I
downloaded tagged as "RC_1_34_0" using Boost.Build v2 :

C:/src/RC_1_34_0/boost/tools/build/v2/tools\msvc.jam:612: syntax error at keywor
d }
C:/src/RC_1_34_0/boost/tools/build/v2/build\toolset.jam:26: in using
rule msvc.init unknown in module toolset.
C:\src\RC_1_34_0\boost\tools/build/v2\user-config.jam:29: in modules.load
C:/src/RC_1_34_0/boost/tools/build/v2\build-system.jam:125: in load
C:\src\RC_1_34_0\boost\tools\build\v2/kernel\modules.jam:261: in import
C:\src\RC_1_34_0\boost\tools\build\v2/kernel/bootstrap.jam:132: in boost-build
C:\src\RC_1_34_0\boost\boost-build.jam:12: in module scope

I have an old downloaded boost distribution, which I have successfully
used but updating to the latest version seemed to cause a lot of
problems -- this being one major problem.

Should I even be using this tagged version, or should I instead use CVS HEAD?
