MSVC toolset version detected by default not getting added to the build request.

[jurko dot gospodnetic at docte dot hr]

MSVC toolset correctly detects the MSVC version to use but if the version is default detected does not seem to use it in the build request so any version specific options do not get applied.

The toolset should be changed to apply the previously detected default version similar to how to GCC toolset does this.

One consequence is that MSVC 7.1 Boost Graph library build fails with an internal compiler access violation when the toolset version is default detected as some version specific MSVC compiler option does not get applied.

For more detailed information see mailing list postings under ​http://lists.boost.org/boost-build/2007/10/17583.php and ​http://lists.boost.org/boost-build/2007/10/17584.php.

Hope this helps.

Caused by Boost Build's default toolset handling and is not msvc toolset specific. A test demonstrating this has been added as changeset ​42549. For more information also see ​this news post.
