compiling bjam with msvc 8.0

Hi All,

I have updated bjam and when trying to build it with vc8 I get an
filent.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _S_ISREG
referenced in function _file_is_file
error.

I managed to track this down to <sys/stat.h> and that VC8 is missing the 
following:

#if defined(_MSC_VER) && (_MSC_VER >= 1400)
# define S_ISREG(m) (((m) & _S_IFMT) == _S_IFREG)
#endif

Adding the above fixes the problem. That is bjam builds successfully and 
will run without error. Has anyone else had problems building bjam with 
vc8 beta and do you want a patch for build.bat/build.jam to configure it?

Regards,
Reece
