Boost-Build :

I'm sorry but I've been hit by this so many times I'm getting close to
ranting:

Why oh why does the msvc toolset inject the compilers own include paths into
the command line? If I add a <sysinclude>/foo/bar to a project I expect it
to over-ride the compilers own search path. But Oh no the toolset knows
better and injects the compilers search path onto the command line *before*
the <sysinclude> path. Given that the compiler is set up correctly already
by invoking the vcvars32.bat file this is just so completely unnecessary!

I haven't looked to see if bbv2 does the same thing, but please *please* can
this be changed?

Many thanks,

John.
