On a related note, are we sure that the output from the vcvars should
be ignored? Or, at least, shouldn't we be checking the status code
after running the script? There have been incidents in the past where
I've helped colleagues debug boost build issues, only to find that
their msvc environment was mis-configured. The information that the
vcvars script failed would have been a time saver.
