Here's something I wrote a while ago to do that.  It's probably not the
best way to do it, but it worked for me:

    local vers ;
    local bats ;
    local info = [ modules.peek toolset : .msvc.compile.flags ] ;
    for local fn in $(info)
    {
        if [ modules.peek toolset : .msvc.compile.variable.$(fn) ] = ".CC"
        {
            local ver = [ MATCH ".*toolset-msvc:version.([^/ ]+)" :
                [ modules.peek toolset : .msvc.compile.condition.$(fn) ] ] ;
            vers += $(ver[1]) ;
            local bat = [ MATCH "call \"([^\"]+)\"" :
                [ modules.peek toolset : .msvc.compile.values.$(fn) ] ] ;
            bats += $(bat) ;
        }
    }
    ECHO "vers =" $(vers) ;
    ECHO "bats =" $(bats) ;

For msvc-8.0, you'll get multiple values, because there are different
compile options for different architectures, but they should have the
same batch file.  Here's what I get:

vers = 8.0 8.0 8.0 8.0 7.1
bats = C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\vcvarsall.bat
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\vcvarsall.bat C:\Program
Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\vcvarsall.bat C:\Program
Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\vcvarsall.bat C:\Program
Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Vc7\bin\vcvars32.bat
