Do you mean http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.build/8687
??

Isn't this the one I said doesn't work?

http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.build/8829

The current CVS is still removing response files upon failure:

c:\boost\boost/range/const_iterator.hpp(36) : error C2208: 'boost::type' : no members defined using this type
c:\boost\boost/range/const_iterator.hpp(36) : fatal error C1903: unable to recover from previous error(s); stopping compilation

call "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\\bin\vcvars32.bat" > nul 
cl /Zm800 -nologo -TP /Z7 /Od /Ob0 /EHsc /GR /MDd @"bin\begin.test\msvc-8.0\debug\begin_cpp.rsp" -c -Fo"bin\begin.test\msvc-8.0\debug\begin.obj" 

...failed msvc.compile.c++ bin\begin.test\msvc-8.0\debug\begin.obj bin\begin.test\msvc-8.0\debug\begin_cpp.rsp...
...removing bin\begin.test\msvc-8.0\debug\begin_cpp.rsp

And with your patch, nothing works:
