So... If I want to build boost from a straight up Windows Command Prompt in the Visual Studio environment, the key is that we run the VCVARSALL.BAT file prior to running the bootstrap, etc, etc? For instance, if we wanted to route a conditional build of boost through our Continuous Integration process using NAnt, for instance...
VCVARSALL.BAT should be unnecessary. Bootstrap should find a compiler (any compiler) to build bjam. Bjam will examine its command line to determine which compiler you want to use. The entire boost build system will ignore vcvarsall.bat.
