Is there a way to build Boost from source using just the toolchain
provided by Windows SDK without a Visual Studio installation? I have
tried this in the distant past (with version 1.31 by creating an
mssdk-amd64-tools.jam based on the distributed msvc-tools.jam). But is
there some way to do this out of the box with the newer versions? Is
it officially supported?

Thanks,
