Indeed, LLVM's code Peter gave a link to looks right too.

OK, no idea why, but this solves the problem. With ClangC2 I need to call
vcvarsall anyway (Boost.Build doesn't do it, because it thinks we're on
linux), so link.exe is on the PATH.

Thanks a lot!

By the way, should I maybe submit a feature request to Boost.Build to add
a clang-c2.jam? clang.jam currently dispatches between clang-darwin.jam
and clang-linux.jam, so it should be easy to add support for clang-c2.jam.
I don't yet feel competent enough with BB to implement it myself though.
Does anyone else want this functionality?
