Thanks for your help again! But I am still stuck:

Actually, just to report, it appears they are identical, only the 
name is different.

I undid all the hacking I did on Boost.Build, and I modified my 
Jamfile's as you suggest, which gets me a lot further than I did 
before. But I'm still stuck:

C:\jared\jared-shared-laptop\tools\build\boost-base.jam:1416: in 
find-compatible-subvariant
*** argument error
* rule is-link-compatible ( feature : value1 : value2 )
* called with: ( <target-type> : DLL : )

C:\jared\jared-shared-laptop\tools\build\bootstrap.jam:15: in boost-
build
C:\jared\jared-shared-laptop\boost-build.jam:2: in module scope

I don't know what I'm missing... I tried to read the code around the 
error but I just don't know enough about Jam and Boost.Build to 
figure anything out.

Maybe it's because I'm trying to link a .lib into a .dll. Will that 
even work?

Thanks!
