Re: [boost] Fwd: RC 1.34.1 bjam build error

The problem exists in 3.1.14 also:

---------------------------------------------------------------------
T:\boost_1_34_1\tools\jam\src>build.bat
Setting environment for using Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 x86 tools.
\Microsoft was unexpected at this time.

T:\boost_1_34_1\tools\jam\src>build.bat msvc
###
### Using 'msvc' toolset.
###

T:\boost_1_34_1\tools\jam\src>rd /S /Q bootstrap
... builds successfully ...
---------------------------------------------------------------------

I point this out as an installation/build issue, albeit a minor one. It
should not delay 1.34.1.

I missed an option:

c) Whomever can replicate the problem with the bjam in 1.34. Check if 
the problem exists in the 3.1.14 release of bjam. If it's not a problem 
there we can put that version in the Boost release.
