Hi,

I get a large number of warnings when compiling bjam with VC8 (using vc7
toolset), please see attached file for full output. I'm using the latest cvs
source.

Most of these are annoying 'deprecation' warnings, which can be disabled by
defining _CRT_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE. There are also some other 4996 warnings,
example:
[snip]

So, any chance of adding explicit vc8 toolset support to
build.bat/build.jam?

Don't forget _SCL_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE.
_SCL_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE suppresses the C++ library related deprecations.
_CRT_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE suppresses the C library related deprecations.

With both of these defined 4996 does not need to be disabled. In our libraries we have a header that complains at compile time if the user has not defined these two macros.
