I'm trying to figure out what is wrong with my system, lots of google 
searching and everything seems to check.

My |%VS90COMNTOOLS% is good and my VS works fine in every respect I use 
it. But when I try a 'build' in ../v2/engine even with 'msvc' or 'vc9' 
as an argument it just loops like:

C:\cpp\boost_1_47\tools\build\v2\engine>build
###
### "Could not find a suitable toolset."
###
### You can specify the toolset as the argument, i.e.:
###     .\build.bat msvc
###
### Toolsets supported by this script are: borland, como, gcc, gcc-nocygwin,
###     intel-win32, metrowerks, mingw, msvc, vc7, vc8, vc9, vc10
###
###
### "Could not find a suitable toolset."
###
### You can specify the toolset as the argument, i.e.:
###     .\build.bat msvc
###

Over and over until I control c it. No, I have yet to dig into the 
workings of build.bat for a better answer. I was hoping someone knew of 
the top of their head what may be my problem.

I had last built 1_42 without a hitch back when it was released. But 
I've started using boost::geometry and need the lib for 
boost::filesystem. I tried to mix 1.42 filesystem and 1.47 geometry 
headers, but it bumps the filesystem lib needed to 1.47, I can't seem to 
cheat.

~~
cannot open file 'libboost_filesystem-vc90-mt-gd-1_47.lib'

Thanks, Dan.
