1091,Build.bat does not autodetect msvc on 64-bit Windows when building bjam,jonathon-olesberg@…,René Rivera,"In trying out the release candidate, I noticed a problem with the batch file that builds the bjam executable on windows. If I execute build.bat from the tools\jam\src directory, I get an error:

{{{
T:\boost-1_34_1\boost\tools\jam\src>.\build.bat
Setting environment for using Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 x86 tools.
\Microsoft was unexpected at this time.
}}}


However, if I specify msvc, things work fine:

{{{
T:\boost-1_34_1\boost\tools\jam\src>.\build.bat msvc
###
### Using 'msvc' toolset.
###

T:\boost-1_34_1\boost\tools\jam\src>rd /S /Q bootstrap

T:\boost-1_34_1\boost\tools\jam\src>md bootstrap

... and so on ...
}}}

The problem only shows up on Win64 systems, possibly because the Microsoft compiler is stored under ""\Program Files (x86)\"" on 64-bit systems. 

The problem is already fixed in CVS head, but not the 1.34.1 release candidate or the 3.1.14 release of bjam.
