Thanks for the snapshot.

I did quick building subset of libraries using VS2017,
with ZLIB_SOURCE and BZIP2_SOURCE defined.
The build was successful. I did not run any tests though.
Brief configuration log copied below.

Kudos to Tom Kent for recent patches towards VS2017 support.

Minor issue:
- I run build inside "x64 Native Tools Command Prompt for VS 2017"
- That is, using native 64-bit CL.EXE and targetting 64-bit platform.
- In config.log, I see b2_msvc_14.10.25017_vcvarsx86_amd64_.cmd
- In processes, I see b2 runs CL.EXE 32-bit cross-compiuler targetting 64-bit
Would it be possible to run CL.exe 64-bit binary?
Given I'm in the VS2017 command prompt configured with native 64-bit toolset...

Mateusz
