[Boost-build] can't build svn trunk with msvc express

Hi,

I've searched the list archives and didn't see this issue. I do hope I haven't 
missed anything.

I'm trying to build from the boost svn trunk with MSVC Express 2005. I have the 
Platform SDK installed. I had the same problem trying to compile the 1_34(_0) 
release in the same way and had to use the rather handy boost consulting 
installers. But I really need some of the fixes/updates made to asio in the trunk.

Also, builds are fine with MinGW 3.4.5 and 4.2.1.

My errors look like this:

C:\development\boost_svn>bjam --version
Boost.Build V2 (Milestone 11)
Boost.Jam 03.1.14

C:\development\boost_svn>bjam --toolset=msvc debug release stage install

note: to enable MPI support, add "using mpi ;" to user-config.jam.
note: to suppress this message, pass "--without-mpi" to bjam.
note: otherwise, you can safely ignore this message.

And so on...

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\vcvarsall.bat is present.
I get the same results building in a regular console and in a "Visual Studio 
2005" console.

Any comments/questions/ridicule very much appreciated.

Kind regards,

Edd
