This EMail is strictly in response to the subject question
I do not think it's ready

Some time ago, I was given a regression test script for running some v2 
tests (the results are posted at ftp://rudbek.com/pub/boost 4 times a day 
(whenever I finish the normal boost regression)
I noticed today that I'm getting the following in my output:
===========================================================================================
abs_workdir : 
"['C:\\Projects\\boost\\tools\\build\\v2\\test\\../../jam_src\\bin.ntx86\\jam', 
'-sBOOST_BUILD_PATH=C:\\Projects\\boost\\tools\\build\\v2\\test', '-d0', 
'--quiet', 'pwd']" returned 1
STDOUT ============
Jam cannot be run because, either:
a. You didn't set BOOST_ROOT to indicate the root of your
Boost installation.
b. You are trying to use stock Jam but didn't indicate which
compilation toolset to use. To do so, follow these simple
instructions:

- define one of the following environment variable, with the
appropriate value according to this list:

Variable Toolset Description

BORLANDC Borland C++ BC++ install path
VISUALC Microsoft Visual C++ VC++ install path
VISUALC16 Microsoft Visual C++ 16 bit VC++ 16 bit install
INTELC Intel C/C++ IC++ install path
WATCOM Watcom C/C++ Watcom install path
MINGW MinGW (gcc) MinGW install path
LCC Win32-LCC LCC-Win32 install path

- define the JAM_TOOLSET environment variable with the *name*
of the toolset variable you want to use.

e.g.: set VISUALC=C:\Visual6
set JAM_TOOLSET=VISUALC

STDERR ============

END ===============

===========================================================================================
so I added what I _think_ are the correct environment variables (how the 
heck am I supposed to know what the "install directory" is for VC++? the 
example given is worthless.
here are my environment variables:
