Okay, I just got around to doing that.  AFAICT bjam actually
calls'VC\vcvarsall.bat', passing it the parameter "x86".  This in turn,
calls 'VC\bin\vcvars32.bat'.  Unfortunately, bjam directs the output of that
call to nul - so I can't tell whether vcvars.bat is executing correctly.
But I assume not, because I still get the error 'Cannot open windows.h'.
How do I stop bjam from directing the batch file output to nul?
