Thanks for the suggestion, but changing to:

    msvc : 8.0~evc :

 does not seem to have any effect, it builds just as before with just
"vc".

Oddly enough, if I omit the space between "8.0~evc" and the ":" I get an
error:

boost_1_43_0/tools/build/v2/build\toolset.jam:38: in toolset.using
*** argument error
* rule msvc.init ( version ? : command * : options * )
* called with: ( 8.0~evc: D:/Program Files/Microsoft Visual Studio
8/VC/bin/cl.exe : ...

But that's probably not relevant, but as you said, picky.

Thanks again,

Mike

In your user-config.jam file, I see you have something like this:

using msvc : evc8 :
     "D:/Program Files/Microsoft Visual Studio 8/VC/bin/cl.exe" :
     <compileflags>-D_CRT_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS
     ...

If you change your version parameter to:

using msvc : 8.0~evc :
     "D:/Program Files/Microsoft Visual Studio 8/VC/bin/cl.exe" :
     <compileflags>-D_CRT_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS
     ...

Does that have any effect?  I seem to remember that Boost.Build is picky
about the formatting of that version parameter (but I could be
mis-remembering).
