Thanks!

I have a few problems with adding Python support:

(1) If I run:
   build.bat --with-python=c:\python24
I get:

C:\dev\tools\jam>.\bootstrap\jam0 -f build.jam --toolset=vc8 "--toolset-root=C:\
Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\Tools\..\..\VC\ "  --with-python
 c:\python24

Notice that the '=' in the argument has disappeared.

(2) Once I get this to work - by adding the argument directly into build.jam - I get the warning:

builtins.c(1635) - warning: not all control paths return a value

I believe this should be:
   return Py_None;
