Try a slight variation:

cl /TP /W4 /WL /GX /GR -ID:\C++\Boost\Current simple_ls.cpp 
%BOOST_FILESYSTEM_LIB%

(That's all on the same line, of course.)

Please note that we are close to release 1.31.0, and it will have much 
improved library auto-linking for VC++ and some other Win32 compilers. The 
library names for all compilers will change, however, so don't cast 
anything in concrete that depends on the current names.
