The outer quote is for the shell. The middle quote is for Jam,
to tell it to take everything within those quotes literally, and
the inner quotes are for the shell again when paths are passed
as arguments to build actions. Under NT, it looks a lot more
sane to use environment variables before invoking jam when you
have to do this sort of quoting:
<blockquote><pre>
set MSVCNT=&quot;&quot;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual C++\VC98\&quot;&quot;
