    I've configured Boost.Build, edited the file locations in
    Jamfile.v2, and it now builds, no errors, but executables do not run.

    They fail with a ddl resolution error. The ddl sought is:

        MSVCP80.ddl

    I've searched my drive and I can't find it.

    I build boost using the free Visual C++ 2003, and built your
    work using cygwin gcc. I'm assuming that running the build
    using the gcc tool set caused the signals and date_time
    libraries to be compiled with gcc. Otherwise, I'll look here for
    problems.

    I'm re-installing Cygwin with Cygwin Python in order to build
    a complete Boost using Cygwin gcc.
