Comment(by bielow@…):

 Hi,

 works like a charm. However, I think you missed to insert
 "if exist ".\tools\jam\src\bin.ntx86_64\bjam.exe" del
 tools\jam\src\bin.ntx86_64\bjam.exe"
 at line 10?!

 The VS2010 toolset is not a showstopper, as I can still set the toolset
 "msvc-9.0" when calling bjam.

 Just as a suggestion: you could accept the toolset as argument to
 bootstrap.bat, just forward it to build.bat, which would have the
 additional advantage of producing a correct "project-config.jam". I guess
 the latter is read by bjam?!
