build.bat and WINNT

Hi,

After successfully building boost from scratch using VC7 on WINXP, I 
tried to repeat it using a WINNT box at home. Unfortunately cmd.exe 
appears to work differently on WINNT.

Build.bat uses SETLOCAL to return errorlevel to zero. This works on 
WINXP, but not NT. I found that it was necessary to use:

setlocal ENABLEEXTENSIONS & endlocal

to get the errorlevel to reset back to zero. I suspose WINNT is 
pretty obsolete by now and it doesn't really matter. Maybe a windows 
script file might work better?

Regards ...
