I haven't included any of the updates to the PCH support, as I
haven't had a chance to integrate the various patches. It may
differ from the very latest CVS as I haven't updated for some
time. It will require the CVS version of BBv2 and not the 1.33.1
version.

It requires the buildin.jam, msvc.jam and msplatformsdk.jam
files to be copied into the build/v2/tools directory. The things
I have added are:
*  support for msvc-specific compiler options;
*  support for managed C++ (VC 7.x) and C++/CLI (VC 8)
compilation;
*  allow the user to specify /Zc:opt options (native wchar_t
and for scope conformance);
*  better support for Windows defines (e.g. WIN32 and
WINVER)
*  experimental WinCE support.
