I updated my tools directory.  That helped.  But now I'm getting:

$ pwd
C:/BoostRelease/libs/serialization/test
$ ../../../tools/regression/src/library_test.sh toolset=msvc-7.1 &
[1]     1848
$ boost_root: C:/BoostRelease
locate_root: C:/BoostRelease

**** exception(205): std::runtime_error: 
boost::filesystem::basic_directory_iter
ator constructor: The system cannot find the path specified: 
"C:\BoostRelease\bi
n.v2\libs\serialization\test"
******** errors detected; see standard output for details ********

and indeed

$ ls c:/boostrelease/bin.v2

shows empty directory.
