Below I have pasted in the output from this command:

    bjam toolset=msvc-9.0 address-model=32 variant=debug --debug- 
configuration

I see that it is indeed using the site-config.jam and user-config.jam  
that I want it to. My user-config.jam looks like this:

using msvc
    :  9.0
    :  # no c++ compile command
    :  <setup>"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC 
\vcvarsall.bat"
    ;

using msvc
    :  8.0
    :  # no c++ compile command
    :  # no features
    ;

using msvc
    :  7.1
    :  # no c++ compile command
    :  # no features
    ;

Note that all three versions of Visual Studio are installed in their  
default locations:

    C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 8
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0

Also note that these locations are all under "C:\Program Files (x86)"  
because the Windows box is running 64-bit Vista.

Thanks,

Ian
