Okay, please try this:

        using msvc : 8.0 : "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\\VC\\BIN\\cl.exe"
                : <setup>"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\\VC\\BIN\\vcvarsall.bat"
                ;

make sure that paths are correct -- I'm not sure I got the path to the script right. If that works,
we can try figuring why original attempts failed.
