You might want to look at the current msvc.jam.  It doesn't
delete the
response files.  Also, -d2 dumps the response file in
addition to
showing the command-line (I'm not sure what does that,
though -- it may
be bjam).

   Thanks... I'll have a look at it. Just hope we can still
make the 
clean rule correctly delete these files - as we did for the
milestone 11 
  release.

   Btw. anyone know when the next milestone release is
planned?

   Best regards,
