I'm building b2 with builtin Python support (to experiment with a new
Python frontend). So far I have done that only on Linux, now I want to
start experimenting on Windows, too. Neither `build.bat
--with-python=... address-model=64`  nor `buid.bat --with-python=...
--address-model=64` works.

Thanks,
