BTW, I think this warning is a bad thing. Matthew Towler has reported that is 
leads to build failure (see
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.devel/18728/) but that message 
seems to have fallen through the cracks. Rene, can you comment?

I think that if we completely rebootsrap jam, then we probably should pass -a 
when invoking \bootstrap.msvc\jam0 -- doing otherwise seems unlogical. 
(I recall that the whole point of complete rebootsrapping is to make sure 
everything will be correctly from scratch).
