I'm using MSVC 8.0 Express Edition. I could find no mt.exe in those
files but I did find such a file in my VC 2003/Common 7/bin/winnt directory.
I made a copy into the bin directory of the msvc 8.0 express edition.
When I ran bjam again I got the output below.  This suggests to me
that either the mt.exe I have (dated 6/19/2002) is out of sync with the
current one or the msvc.jam file isn't quite right.  Again, any help
would be appreciated.
