-----------------------------------------------------------+----------------
 In a Windows command prompt, when I type

 build.bat mingw

 The guy claims I want msvc.

 Apparently, in the batch file, the subroutine that tries to determine
 whether a command line option is of the form "--option"
 fails.

 I had to tweak the batch file to enforce BOOST_JAM_TOOLSET=%1

 This had the drawback of forcing me to remove %args% on the very last
 instruction of the batch file.

 Then bjam.exe was build.

 gcc (GCC) 3.4.5 (mingw special)[[BR]]
 OS: Windows Vista Family Premium 32bits SP1[[BR]]
 Processor: AMD Athlon 64 X2 4000+, but you probably don't care.[[BR]]
