[boost] Problem compiling boost::python : Script seems to require version 2.2 of python.

Hello,

I'm trying to build boost::python on my windows box, but I encounter 
some problems in the build process. First, some info about my versions :

* I'm using the draft tarballs of the long expected version 1.32 that 
can be found on 
http://www.meta-comm.com/engineering/boost/200411020208/boost_1_32_0.zip

* I have a pyton 2.4 installed on my computer

I'm using bjam --v2 to build boost.

First problem I had was that the doc specified to set the PYTHON_ROOT 
variable to my python installation path, but it looks like the script 
look for a PYTHON_PATH variable. Either the scripts of the documentation 
should be corrected.

Second problem, even if the doc claims that the variable PYTHON_VERSION 
can be set to any version at least 2.2, in tha script, I can see what 
looks to me (I'm totally new to bjam) like an hard-coded value :
>     # Declare a target for the python interpreter library
>     lib python : : <name>python22 <search>$(PYTHON_PATH)/libs ;
>     PYTHON_LIB = python ;    

Best regards,
