B2 fails immediately (showstopper!!!) on windows for all tested visual
studio compilers (8.0-14.1) when running with --build-type=complete, such
as:

b2 -j%NUMBER_OF_PROCESSORS% --without-mpi --build-type=complete
toolset=msvc-8.0 address-model=32 architecture=x86 --prefix=.\
--libdir=lib32-msvc-8.0 --includedir=garbage_headers install

with the error:

error: link=shared together with runtime-link=static is not allowed
error: such property combination is either impossible
error: or too dangerious to be of any use
