Bjorn,
that's my experience, as well -- just tested under borland. I think it's good 
idea to commit this version. 

OTOH, I still don't know what's up with stage.py -- the test which failure 
prompted this workaround --- since I can't access mvsc box. Bjorn, if you 
have msvc installed and configured in user-config.jam (i.e. has 

using msvc : 6.5 ;

line there), could you run "stage.py" and report the result? 

Thanks,
Volodya
