I'm trying to do that even through Visual Studio 2008 Express Edition
Command Line utility but Boost.Build seems to be looking for a Jamfile
and is not honoring the Jamroot file anymore. Maybe I should update my
Boost.Trunk checkout again.

I'll try sending an email with the exact error message later on in the
day. Hopefully I'll get this figured out soon -- unless we provide a
Visual C++ Project file for testing on Windows which is yucky for me
to say the least. ;)
