Mike,
The error is expected due to how the jam language is parsed.  It can't 
tell that the colon in "8.0~evc:" is supposed to be a distinct entity.  
In fact, every phrase must be separated by spaces, that is why even the 
semicolon at the end of a rule must have a space between it and the 
preceding phrase.
