[Boost-build] Problems specifying setup script

Hi,

I'm trying to build Boost with Visual Studio 15 Preview 5. As the directory
layout changed completely in this release, I'm trying to follow the
documentation at [1] to specify the paths manually for starters. I have this
in my project-config.jam:

using msvc : 15.0 : "cl.exe" : <setup-i386>"C:/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft
Visual
Studio/VS15Preview/Common7/IDE/VisualCpp/Auxiliary/Build/vcvars32.bat" ;

When I try to do anything with b2 (bootstrapped by Preview 4), even just
"b2.exe headers", it complains:
C:/boost/tools/build/src/tools\msvc.jam:834: in generate-setup-cmd
*** argument error
* rule maybe-rewrite-setup ( toolset : setup-script : setup-options :
version : rewrite-setup ? )
* called with: ( msvc :  :  : 15.0 :  )
* missing argument setup-script

C:\boost\tools\build\src/kernel/bootstrap.jam:139: in boost-build
C:\boost\boost-build.jam:17: in module scope

Does this mean that my manually specified setup script is not honored? What
am I doing wrong?

Thanks,
Marcel
