OK - I didn't expect anything to require a C++ compiler just
to build documentation  I added using msvc : 7.1 and ran bjam --v2
- as per instructions on
http://www.boost.org/doc/html/boostbook/setup/running.html

and things did crank way for quite a while and produced a lot
of output on the console.  It ended with an encouraging messsage
(which I have since scrolled off the top of the screen).  I run
bjam --v2 again and it "finishes" pretty quickly with output
which looks like:

...patience...
...found 1100 targets...
...updating 1 target...

I don't find any *.html files in the html directory.  So, I'm stuck again.
