Yep, I've investigated further and I'm even more confused: the -Qvc8 option 
appears to be coming from my Intel-9 configuration setup rather than bjam. 
So my Intel-9 setup *should* be using MSVC-8 as it's base after all.  That 
error message about -manifest not being recognised was throwing me.

The weird thing is, if I extract the commands bjam is using and paste them 
into the console then everything links without error!  So I'm stumped again 
:-(  I don't suppose there are any environment variables or other "hidden" 
things that bjam is setting are there?

Thanks, John.
