I am reworking the toolset slightly. There are a few fixes I want to put in
place. I am also looking at enabling response files in version 7+. I have
now fixed the lines so they are under 80 characters and will post with the
modifications.

Q: How do you create a spanned line in an action? Worst case: you will have
to manually correct those lines.

I caught that one earlier, too! It was because the code was originally
written using the 1.31 BBv2 code.

BTW: I like the new CVS approach, compared to the 1.31 version :). However,
I agree with your other post that a common.join-command would be beneficial,
so I'll see what I can do. Also, how about either 1) a common.resolve-path
that appends ProgramFiles as a prefix; or 2) make that a part of
common.get-invocation-command.

Also, it may also be useful to add a search in the Windows directory as well
to allow .NET toolsets to be written (the files are located in the Windows
directory).

Regards,
Reece
