Interesting experiences with new Jam bootstrapping system

First, for all you Windows NT people out there, go to the jam_src
directory and type

build

instead of

build.bat

For a very `interesting' experience ;-)

Secondly:

C:\boost\tools\build\jam_src>build.bat --debug
Setting environment for using Microsoft Visual Studio .NET tools.
(If you also have Visual C++ 6.0 installed and wish to use its tools
from the command line, run vcvars32.bat for Visual C++ 6.0.)

Hmm, well I have two installations. Let's try the other one:

C:\boost\tools\build\jam_src>rem @SET VCINSTALLDIR=c:\tools
Setting environment for using Microsoft Visual Studio .NET tools.
(If you also have Visual C++ 6.0 installed and wish to use its tools
from the command line, run vcvars32.bat for Visual C++ 6.0.)

C:\boost\tools\build\jam_src>.\build.bat --debug
Setting environment for using Microsoft Visual Studio .NET tools.
(If you also have Visual C++ 6.0 installed and wish to use its tools
from the command line, run vcvars32.bat for Visual C++ 6.0.)

Hmm. Looks like the above VCVARS32.BAT might've returned a nonzero
exit code...
