10817,missing argument global-setup,calumlind@…,,"I was attempting to build boost on Win 8.1  with just the MS VC++ Compiler for Python (microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=44266) so no Visual Studio installed. 

I encountered the error below when running `b2`. Modifying project-config.jam to have the line `using msvc : : : <setup> ;` allow the build to continue to completion.
