Description
I tried to use build.bat vc9 "--with-python=C:\Program Files\Python25" and kept getting error messages saying =C:\Program was unexpected at this time The fix is to replace "_%1_" with "_%~1_". Also, I had to add quotes to build.jam Patch attached.

Using "%~1" has the drawback of not working on older CMD shells. And the general task of removing quotes around arguments, i.e. on variables in general, on CMD is fraught with painfully version specific and long code. Not sure how to resolve this problem.
As for the build.jam patch, I made an equivalent change that solves the problem for all args when running the commands.
