[snip stuff about interpreting what the ENV vars all mean]

Perhaps the ENV vars should not be used at all?? Instead we could read 
the registry to find the install location, as the cw-tools.jam does. For 
example, for vc7.1 one could use:

=================================================================
extends-toolset msvc ;

# singleton variables...
set-as-singleton VC71_ROOT ;

if ! $(MSVCDir)
{
local vc-ide-root-7.1 = [ W32_GETREG 
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\VisualStudio\\7.1" : 
"InstallDir" ] ;
ProgramFiles ?= $(PROGRAMFILES) ;
VC71_ROOT ?= "$(vc-ide-root-7.1)..\\..\\VC7" ;
VC_TOOL_PATH = "$(VC71_ROOT)\\bin\\" ;
VC_SETUP = "CALL \"$(VC_TOOL_PATH)VCVARS32.BAT\" >nul" ;
}
VC_PDB_NAME = vc71 ;

feature native-wchar_t : on off ;

flags vc7.1 CFLAGS : /Op ;
flags vc7.1 C++FLAGS : /Zc:forScope ;
flags vc7.1 C++FLAGS <native-wchar_t>on : /Zc:wchar_t ;
=================================================================
