David,
thanks for your answer. It seems that I definitely need you help
here again.
When I call (the latest prebuilt) boost-build.exe within the 
directory

    \boost\libs\python\build 

I get the following output:

  Compiler is Microsoft Visual C++
  Jamfile: line 67: syntax error at keyword (
  Jamfile: line 67: syntax error at keyword )
  ...found 7 targets...

Line 67ff of the jamfile looks like

  local rule bpl-test ( test-name : sources + )
  {
    boost-python-test $(test-name) : $(sources) <lib>libboost_python ;
  }

My sources are from a CVS checkout a few days ago.

BTW I unable to build any part of boost with jam/boost-build.
When I call it in Boost's root dir the output is 

  Compiler is Microsoft Visual C++
  warning: unknown rule project-root
  warning: unknown rule subinclude
  warning: unknown rule subinclude
  warning: unknown rule subinclude
  warning: unknown rule subinclude
  ...found 7 targets...

This is still the same than a few months ago, when I had a first
glance at Boost (1.24.0 then). So it seems that I'm doing something
fundamentally wrong eh?
