Re: [jamboost] Toolset tweaks: multi-element 'command'

Hi Volodya,

Just retested MSVC with a very simple setup. Looks like you have indeed 
introduced a bug with the RC changes.

With a minimal Jamfile
exe test :
test.cpp
;

This gives a --debug-generators dump related to RC files I have attached at 
the end.

I quick bit of debuging shows that commenting out:
generators.register-standard msvc.compile.rc : RC : OBJ(%_res) : 
<toolset>msvc : <toolset>msvc ;
works around the problem.

All the best,
Michael
