[Boost-build] [bjam] Generating bjam.exe in the SVN Trunk

In preparation for running some tests in the SVN trunk of ptr_container on 
my Windows XP computer, I'd like to create a bjam.exe. (I tried bjam version 
3.1.16 but without success.)

I followed the directions of http://www.boost.org/doc/html/jam/building.html 
and invoked the /tools/jam/src/build.bat. Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 is 
installed and apparently found by the build.bat.

Here's the partial output:

C:\Boost SVN\trunk\tools\jam\src>.\build.bat --debug

[end of output]

The windows.h file exists in the C:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK for 
Windows Server 2003 R2\include directory. If I include window.h in source 
code while using Visual Studio, it is found by the compiler.

What should I do so that windows.h can be found by build.bat?
