How did you configure the msvc toolset? If configuring it
in user-config.jam, you should have:

        using msvc : 8.0 : whatever ;

and if just using command line, you should use:

        bjam toolset=msvc-8.0

While it's possible to query compiler version by running compiler
binary, such magic is not implemented yet, so you need to
specify the version explicitly.
