Boost.Python on Windows 2000

I am trying to build the Boost Python package 1_27_0 on Windows 
2000.  

I tried using the Visual C++ project file provided with the Boost 
distribution (build.dsw): it will not load properly into Visual C++.  
I then created my own project file, as a standard dll project, 
dragging the .cpp files from the boost_1_27_0/libs/python/src 
directory, and pointing my include and library directories to the 
appropriate boost and python locations.  However, now I encounter 
compiler errors on #includes to the boost/mpl directory tree, which 
does not exist under the distribution I downloaded.  

A similar attempt to build boost.python with the same boost 
distribution on Solaris 2.8 went relatively smoothly (requiring minor 
tweaks to the makefile).

Any information or pointers to potentially overlooked documentation 
would be most helpful.  Once I get all of this figured out, I will 
offer to make ammendments to the boost.python package documentation.

Many thanks,
Michael
