I believe the most important issue is that no toolsets are configured by 
default. Eventually, we should have user-config.jam contain:

using msvc ;
using gcc ;

so that 90% of users get something working right of the box. I'll address 
other issues later.

BTW, if you, or Dave, or anybody else run into other issue, please add them to
