I am not sure how much this helps.  Here is what I have though.  When I 
set the Boost 1.68.0, b2 for complete install, I obtain the respective 
program_options*.lib and .dll files for msvc 14, 14.1, Intel 18.0, 
update 3, address-model=32, and address-model=64.  I am not finding a 
bcpCopy* file (e.g. * is a wildcard) anywhere in the 1.68.0, 1.66.0, or 
1.65.1 source file trees.
