It would be nice. But it's a bootstrap problem. You need something to start 
the whole process ;-)

This is what I use in my run_builds.bat/run_tests.bat...

REM ~ #
REM ~ # rebuild bjam if required:
REM ~ #
echo building bjam:
cd %boost_root%\tools\build\jam_src
set LOCATE_TARGET=bin
set PATH=C:\MinGW\bin;%PATH%
setlocal & endlocal
call .\build.bat mingw
@ECHO OFF
if errorlevel 1 goto :eof

I'm sure you can modify it for your needs.. Like changing to use vc7 instead 
of mingw for building it.
