I am trying to compile Boost.Python. The first problem I found
is that all the include files are missing (I did a file find
on the entire hard disk). Would anybody know where to get them?

To keep going, I resorted to using the VC6 include files.
This did not get me vary far:

cl.exe /I C:\progra~1\micros~3\vc9\include
  /I"L:\boost" /I"C:\Program files\Python\include" 
  /nologo /MD /GR /GX /Zm200   /c classes.cpp classes.cpp
L:\boost\boost\iterator.hpp(43) : error C2977: 'std::iterator' :
 too many template arguments
etc. etc.

I am guessing that we need to update many #ifdefs like
_MSC_VER <= 1200. Has someone done this already?

Thanks,
