The /Wp64 option is from my recent warnings addition patch. IIRC, the 
/wd4675 option is to disable a redundant warning in VC7+ (is this for 7.0 
and above, or 7.1 and above?) I will submit a patch when I have this fixed.

BBv2 does not display the arguments to cl.exe unless the compilation fails 
(or they may be in the response file). However, looking at msvc.jam, there 
are no references to /Ze or /Za being added. Are these flags being added by 
your project?

I will need to reinstall MSVC 6 to investigate this. I'll let you know what 
I find.
