Yes, that't it. I realize that it is no showstopper. I just thought it 
would be nice if it could be done. Ideally there would be a single line 
of output for each action taken containing the name of the action (like 
msvc.compile or msvc.compile) and a single argument (now we have an 
additional *.rsp file named just as the *.exe for msvc.link) so there 
would be a pretty good change that the output of one action fits on one 
line on the console. Also setting '-d0' on the command line would 
produce no output. Now it only prevents bjam from emiting any ouput of 
its own but that does not stop the ms tools from babling. In an ideal 
world there would be an output only if there is a problem (warning or 
error).
