Hi Arkadiy,

Well, I think this is more of a BJam V2 question. I'm not an expert
on it, but here's what I do:

* I build the latest Jam executable from the source. With Windows
   and VC7.1, this is easy. There's a build.bat in the
   BOOST_ROOT/tools/build/jam_src directory.
* I edit BOOST_ROOT/tools/build/v2/user-config.jam to reflect my
   environment.
* With everything setup, I issue:

   bjam --v2

(the bjam v2 docs are found at http://www.boost.org/tools/build/v2/)

HTH. Tell me if you need more help.

Cheers,
