I was finally able to go back and look at this some more.  I tried your suggestions, but the only thing that works at all is setting MSVCDir.  I still get those compilation issues for several routines, so I will take your advice and ask Boost.Python developers about it on  boost@lists.boost.org.

Thanks so much for taking the time to answer my questions.
