There are *no* tool detecting heuristics. You need to specify TOOLS 
somehow, or it will default to vc-7_1 on Windows, gcc otherwise.

And the reason is that since you specified the TOOLS in Jamrules that is 
loaded after python.jam so it never got a chance to react to the TOOLS 
setting of "msvc".

If you need to set the TOOLS someplace other than the command line, set 
it in boost-build.jam that is the first loaded file.
