1. Boost Python V2 is not released yet; there was only a preview 
announcement

2. You're still using the old codebase. The new codebase doesn't 
include a sourcefile called extension_class.cpp. If you used Jam, you 
started the build from the wrong directory to use the new codebase.

3. Since the new codebase isn't released yet, the old code remains in 
the boost CVS repository alongside the new code.
