In the meantime I found quite a few unreasonable things in there :)

Here is an update which could hopefully be added to the trunk. It also 
contains ported mc.jam and midl.jam. It seems to work well (in the 
subset of its quite broad functionality I tested) and I'd like to send 
it out there to possibly get some feedback. I also plan to use this 
quite a lot personally, so any potential left-over bugs should be found 
easily.

Secondly - I observed a little inconsistency with the old boost build. 
In Python Port if I invoke project build with toolset=msvc (or without 
specifying the toolset at all) on the command line the created directory 
structure is

bin/msvc/...

The old bb detects that I have vc9 and creates

bin/msvc-9.0

If I explicitly specify version on the command line (toolset=msvc-9.0) 
then it works. Any hint where to look for this?
