I'm eagerly waiting for the updated version.

I'm afraid jam is crazy about it and requires the lines in action to not be 
broken.

Making it a part of common.get-invocation-command is a bit hard, because that 
rule works even when there's not ProgramFiles (e.g. on Linux). I think that a 
rule which prepends program files location would be nice, but maybe it should 
be called 'prepend-program-files' ? ;-) It's going to be called from 
'msvc.default-paths', for example, right?

I guess a rule similiar in spirit to 'prepend-program-files' can be written as 
well.
