[Boost-users] bjam using vc7.1

Hi,
I have used a few boost libraries that did not require me to use bjam (just
templates) but now I am trying to use bjam to build some examples in boost.

I have an environment like:
set BOOST_ROOT=C:\scott\boost\boost_1_33_1

REM because asio documentation said it needed to be defined
set BOOST_DATE_TIME_NO_LIB=value_does_not_matter

REM trying to avoid this warning
REM    Please define _WIN32_WINNT or _WIN32_WINDOWS appropriately
REM    Assuming _WIN32_WINNT=0x0500 (i.e. Windows 2000 target)
REM windows XP = 0x0501
set _WIN32_WINNT=0x0501

REM Boost Build requirements
set VC71_ROOT=C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Vc7
set PATH=%VC71_ROOT%\bin;C:\scott\boost\bin;%PATH%

vcvars32.bat

Some questions:
1) How do I avoid the following warning output when building with bjam?

    Please define _WIN32_WINNT or _WIN32_WINDOWS appropriately
    Assuming _WIN32_WINNT=0x0500 (i.e. Windows 2000 target)

2) I am used to having solution and project files for Microsoft Development
Environment (MDE) using Visual C++.
   bjam apparently does not create these files.
   Can I get bjam to create project files?

   How does one use the debugger in MDE without project files?
   It would be inconvenient to have to always attached to a running process.

Thanks,
  Scott
