Milestone:  To Be Determined    |   Component:  Building Boost
  Version:  Boost 1.45.0        |    Severity:  Problem

--------------------------------+-------------------------------------------
 Building on Win7 64-bit.  In function ''':Test_Path''', statement ''set
 test=%~$PATH:1'' is not getting errorlevel 1 when the file is not found
 (win7 bug?).  This results in msvc being selected as the toolset.  As a
 workaround, I changed the line (in Test_PATH):[[BR]]

 ''if not errorlevel 1 set FOUND_PATH=%~dp$PATH:1''
 [[BR]]to:[[BR]]
 ''if not errorlevel 1 if _%test% NEQ _ set FOUND_PATH=%~dp$PATH:1''


 All callers of Test_Path were also changed to test FOUND_PATH for a value.
 A cleaner solution may be able to remove the errorlevel 1 tests.

 ...chris.
