Boost creates .cmd scripts to set up the PATH to point to cl.exe. These are named something like C:\Users\<myusername>\AppData\Local\Temp\b2_msvc_14.1_vcvarsx86_amd64_.cmd
A Visual Studio upgrade moves cl.exe to a new location, causing this .cmd script to become stale & incorrectly set the path. This causes b2 to fail because it can't find cl.exe.
To solve this problem, we should teach Fletch to delete these files early in the configure step of Boost. We can use the TEMP environment variable to get the location of the directory containing these scripts.
