 Hi team,

 Faced building problem with 1.55_0 on Win 7 using Visual C++ 2010.

 The problem can be reproduced every time.

 The step are:
 1. Unzip the boost_1_55_0.zip file.
 2. Use cmd.exe or Visual Studio Command Prompt and go to boost_1_55_0
 folder
 3. Type bootstrap or .\bootstrap.bat, but the process stuck here.

 The problem is the screen stopped at "Bootstrapping the build engine" and
 never went further.

 Checked the bootstrap.log. The last line is:


 {{{
 D:\dev\cpp\cpp_libs\boost-build2\boost-build\engine>.\bootstrap\jam0 -f
 build.jam --toolset=vc10 "--toolset-root=C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft
 Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\Tools\..\..\VC\ "  clean
 }}}

 I even directly go to tools\build\v2\engine and run .\build.bat vc10 but
 no luck. The same (blocking) result repeated on the screen.

 I am using Win 7 (64 bits). Can anyone shed some lights on this? Thanks.
