Patch looks good. Can you also try to get engine\build.bat patched? This will allow building b2 with msvc-12.0, too. Take a look if %VS120COMNTOOLS% is defined, please.

Environment in a fresh cmd.exe contains:

VS110COMNTOOLS=C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\Common7\Tools\
VS120COMNTOOLS=C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Common7\Tools\

I've also verified that the registry key used elsewhere exists. As a side note, I was informed that I'd forgotten to make sure that the first tests in msvc.jam is an if and the rest are else if.

I've attached a more exhaustive patch, including fixes to build.bat, build.jam and the if-else chain in msvc.jam.
