 Hi,

 calling "bootstrap.bat" results in successful compilation of
 boost_1_40_0\tools\jam\src\bin.ntx86_64\bjam.exe
 but this is not where the bootstrap.bat expects it to be, as it only
 supports x86 as it seems.

 BTW:  tools\jam\src\build.bat somehow finds my VS2010beta and uses that
 for compilation (although I'd like it to use my production VS9) and it
 seems I have no control of telling "bootstrap.bat" to use a custom toolset
 (this is supported by build.bat)

 cheers
 Chris
