 There seems to be no support declared for lookup of cl.exe from Visual
 Studio 11 (currently available as Visual Studio 11 Developer Preview) in
 Boost.Build.

 I attached patch with relevant update in the tools.

 * Running Boost.Build to build Boost.Asio tests from current trunk
 reports:

 I have tested it on Windows 7 64-bit with Visual Studio 11 Developer
 Preview installed along Visual Studio 2010 Express Edition with only one
 entry in my user-config.jam:

 {{{
 using msvc : 11.0 ;
