Worked for me using "b2 -j 8 toolset=msvc-14.10".

Appveyor is also fixed. Thanks very much to all responsible!

I do have one issue with the new 14.10 toolset though, unrelated to the
above snapshot. It's that I have, in user-config.jam, the following:

import feature ;
import toolset ;

using msvc : 8.0 ;

feature.subfeature toolset msvc : std : cxx14 cxxlatest : optional composite
propagated ;

feature.compose <toolset-msvc:std>cxx14 : <cxxflags>/std:c++14 ;
feature.compose <toolset-msvc:std>cxxlatest : <cxxflags>/std:c++latest ;

which allows me to use "toolset=msvc-cxxlatest-14.0". But it doesn't work
with 14.10; I get:

There's probably a place that is missing 14.10 somewhere.
